What Is RSS?
I've been seeing orange RSS or XML buttons more and more, not knowing what they were. So I asked my techie (who happens to be a great friend but bad techie) about them. Wow! It's "the next big thing" -- you can use it to get newsfeeds from CNN or BBC, as well as just about anything else, including news on upcoming movies, DVD releases, your favorite band's tour updates, etc. Once you get started, it's like having your favorite parts of the Web come to you. No need to go out and check for updates all the time. No more bookmarks for me! "RSS" means "Really Simple Syndication." But that is just a fancy way of saying that you can keep up with all the updates to Weight Loss Professional without having to check the site every week to see "what's new." Whenever I put up a new page ("BRAND NEW") or update an old one ("UPDATE"), I release it through RSS. And... Yes, RSS is amazing. If you can't tell, I'm completely addicted to it.
No e-mail. No spam. It's so easy to subscribe and unsubscribe.
