Checking other websites or blogs on a frequent basis is probably part of your daily or weekly routine. You spend a few minutes pulling up your favorite sites and absorbing what’s new. This is especially the case with monitoring blogs, which provide frequent information in a timely manner.
Instead of clicking through your favorite websites, why not have all the latest information delivered right to one source? This is where an RSS reader comes in.
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is basically a feed of a website’s latest content. Get setup with an RSS reader, and you can have all the latest content spoon fed to you.
Here’s how the process works:
1. Subscribe to the feed of a website you like. You can do this by clicking on the RSS icon. The RSS feed icon of Elementary Marketing is located on the top right of the page.
2. Login to your RSS reader anytime you want to see the more recent content, and all your feeds and placed in this one location.
To login to an RSS reader, you need to set one up. Go with a user-friendly, popular RSS reader like Google Reader or Bloglines.
For now on, you simply go to one website to get the latest content from dozens.
