What is RSS?

RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication. RSS feeds are an easy and efficient way to receive notification when new information is available in a specific area of interest.

How Can I Benefit From RSS?
RSS feeds save time, allowing you to receive notification only when new content is available from my BLOG. You can choose the information you wish to subscribe to and can unsubscribe from any feed at any point.

How Do I Subscribe to RSS Feeds?
First you will need an RSS feed reader (also called a news aggregator) there are a number of RSS readers available. A short list is available at RSS Software RSS readers are simply programs that display the contents of an RSS feed in an easy to read format.

Once you have an RSS reader, you simply paste my link John S Brana - ATOM.xml or John S Brana - RSS.xml into your RSS reader. Some readers will auto detect the presence of an RSS feed on a website and you can optionally choose to subscribe.

Internet Explorer 7 has an RSS feed button and will automatically detect any RSS feed and allow you to bookmark it as a Favorite.

Terms and Conditions
The RSS feeds for the RSS Specifications website are available for syndication. The feeds and content contained in the RSS feeds on the RSS specifications site may not be modified.
