RSS Feeds?

Is it possible to set up RSS feeds on this forum? I am not sure if this option was looked into earlier, but it is a really nice way of getting latest updates.

I have no idea what an RSS feed is... :confused:

In simple terms, an RSS feed is akin to a 'subscription' to a web page. Whenever the particular page one has subscribed to gets updated, the subscriber gets a notification with the updates. This is less bandwidth intensive for the subscriber, as also hassle free, since one doesn't have to keep visiting / refreshing the page each time for updates.

OK, thanks... any idea what the RSS stands for?

thanks Sam - but that raises another question for me... what exactly is Syndication?

^ making the feed from a site available to multiple sites; syndication also applies to TV shows, cartoon strips, etc.

thabnks Elly - I have heard of syndication in relation to TV shows, but never knew what it meant...

so, if it's available to multiple sites, does that mean at the same time, or not necessarily?

RSS is a very good thing. Save a many time, because do you not must visit the website to read the news.
