What Is RSS?
I've been seeing orange RSS or
XML buttons more and more, not
knowing what they were. So I asked my Dad 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 Anguilla Beaches
without having to check the site every week to see "what's new."
Whenever I put up a new page or update an old one, I release it through RSS.
And...
I also include our family's favorite "oldies" and make other special posts from
time to time. It's kind of a small blog about Anguilla.
The favorite "oldies" are the extra-special places that we have discovered and
adventures that we have had over the years. My Dad really pushes into every nook
and cranny. As a result...
There are so many terrific things we've done here. People love "stumbling" upon
those pages. They later write to tell me that they "did it, too!" Now, no need
to "stumble" upon them...
I can share them with you from time to time through RSS. This gives you
our "secret/best Anguilla" without you having to spend hours on the site.
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.
If you get tired of me <SOB>, you just
have to delete the feed. It's awesome!
And once you start, you'll soon be tracking all your other favorite
interests and news in the world.
How do you get started? Easy (now that I know, that is! ha! ha!).
