You would definitely have heard of RSS if you’re an Internet user. If you’re wondering what this stands for, it basically is an abbreviation for Really Simple Syndication.

As for me, it has been almost one year since I started utilising RSS. I found out a usage for RSS immediately after beginning using Firefox. This is an alternative browser to Internet Explorer. A good reason in using Firefox as one’s browser is the fact that it causes easy usage of RSS. When you visit a website which utilises RSS, you can notice a tiny orange button at the address column.

You can press on the symbol. Then, it will show you a choice to include a bookmark. It will add a bookmark that goes straight to an RSS or XML file. The files are a compact format of the webpage which you visited when you pressed the RSS button, or usually known as feed.

In addition, yet another advantage of Firefox is the ability to view RSS files with no necessity of additional programmes. The feeds will seem like folders with a compilation of linkages which are the subject matters from RSS feeds that were subscribed.


However, in order to obtain feed reading components which are superior, one can purchase a RSS reader. In Firefox, there is a RSS reader extension which one can set up known as Sage. You may visit https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/77/ to download it. Moreover, there is another alternative. You can utilise online readers put out by Google at http://www.google.com/reader/things/intro. In my opinion, I like the browser interface better. I have not tried using any of the online readers. You would have to test both kinds of RSS viewers to understand and decide which one is the most suitable for you.

When one wishes to subscribe to RSS feeds but is not utilising Firefox, the link would be a tiny orange button which reads "XML" or "RSS". RSS feeds are much simpler to look for with these general symbols.

Podcasts and Video casts also utilise RSS feeds. These refer to Internet radio or television programmes which you can listen to on iPods or various MP3 apparatus. Using iTunes, you choose to subscribe to RSS feeds. Next, it would immediately download audio files and insert it in one’s iPod or MP3 device. If one does not possess an iPod, you are still able to utilise the feeds with other audio software such as http://www.podfeeder.com. Go visit the CWAHD Podcast Directory at http://www.cwahd.com/podcasts.html. That directory contains Christian Podcasts.


I own one Video iPod. I enjoy viewing Video casts during my leisure time. In fact, I have actually tried arranging the iPod in my car in order to listen in to audio podcasts during my journey to the office.

In conclusion, hopefully you now have additional knowledge on RSS plus its advantages. I am thrilled concerning RSS. I have begun a task to comprise CWAHM.com, as well as CWAHD.com restructured to slot in RSS for every article on both web pages.
