What is RSS?
Depending whom you ask, RSS stands for "Real Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary." An RSS file contains headlines, summaries and links that are formatted in XML (eXtensible Markup Language). RSS is usually a slimmed-down version of a Web site. Images and other supplementary information are not included in an RSS feed.
It is read by a program called an RSS reader, also known as a news aggregator. There are three types of news aggregators: stand-alone programs, e-mail-integrated applications, and Web-based aggregators. Once you have set up an aggregator, it will check the RSS locations for you as often as you want and let you know when new content is available. That allows you to check one location, your aggregator, for updated content for hundreds of websites, blogs, forums, etc..
How is RSS different than an e-mail newsletter?
E-mail newsletters are usually delivered at a time chosen by the publisher. RSS gives you more control by always being available and staying updated. Another advantage RSS has over e-mail is that you don't have to supply an e-mail address or any other information to get the headlines. You just tell the aggregator where to go to check for the RSS file.
How do I get a news aggregator?
Here is a list of common stand-alone news aggregators:
How do I use a news aggregator?
You begin by copying and pasting the link to the RSS feed into your aggregator. The aggregator will go to that link and gather the feed information. The aggregator format is similar to e-mail. Once it has gathered the RSS feed information, you will be given a list of topics or headlines. You click on them to see a summary of the related information, and then click the link to see the full content.
How do I unsubscribe?
Just click the "unsubscribe" button in your news aggregator.
Which RSS feeds should I subscribe to?
That choice is up to you! The XML icons () at the top of this page are our current RSS offering.
Why RSS ?
It allows us a way to provide updated content that is visible to those people that want to see it.
You decide how you want to get the information and what you want to do with it. Subscribe or unsubscribe through your aggregator. You control it. KC Store Fixtures will be ready when you call or email.
