Welcome From Your Publisher...
===============================================================
Hi everyone, today we will talk about using rss feeds with your
site. I am talking about rss feeds first before I start to get
into scripts, but many people are afraid to use scripts on their
site or install scripts, because they think it is so complicated,
but it isn't.
Using rss feeds is the first step to keep people on your site. I
wont go into a big long story on rss feeds until another time,
because I want to focus on scripts for a while in future issues.
For those of you who know me well, you know I am a real techie
and I love using scripts, and I have tried many different scripts
for my site.
The next issue will be the classified issue, but after that
issue, we will get more into learning about scripts and how to
make your site more sticky and interactive.
Stay tuned...

5 Easy Ways To Use RSS On Your Site
=======================
By Titus Hoskins
You hear so much talk about RSS these days on the Internet and in
the media. Everyone is acknowledging it's importance in boosting
your site's presence on the web. Not to mention how it can
increase your site's traffic and ranking. But what exactly is RSS
and how can I actually use it on my site? Try these Five Easy
Ways...
First, just what is RSS?
RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication'. Basically, RSS allows
you to directly deliver your content to all interested parties...
don't come to us; we will deliver the information to you or your
website.
It syndicates your content. It lets you send updated headlines
and brief summaries to your subscribers. In a nutshell; it's
simply a more efficient way to get your content 'out there'.
Many people associate RSS with Blogs or Blogging because Blogs
are usually written in XML or RSS format (code like html) so that
these headlines and postings can be easily read and accessed.
RSS has been around for awhile but it really didn't catch
on when users had to use RSS readers or aggregators but with
the increasing popularity of MyYahoo, the Firefox Browser
and Blogging...RSS is becoming: more popular, more accessible
and more mainstream.
That's great --you say-- but just how do I put the
stuff on my site!
If you're wondering how to actually use RSS and Benefit from
it -- Try these Five Easy Ways...
1. How do I Get My OWN RSS Feed?
First, you need to get an RSS Feed for your site. There are
several ways to do this. Let's just stick with the easiest.
You can use a site like www.blogger.com and start a Blog on
your site's topic or any topic that interests you.
Creating a blog with sites like Blogger (owned by Google)
or Bloglines (recently acquired by Ask Jeeves) is quick,
fast, and painless. Within minutes you can have your own blog
up and running.
This Blog will also supply you with an RSS Feed that you can
place on your site. Get a XML or RSS orange button and place
it on your site. Link it to your RSS Feed url - this is your
atom.xml link if you're using Blogger.
You can also use a MyYahoo button so visitors can add your
feed to their MyYahoo. Each time a subscriber opens their
MyYahoo site; your RSS Feed will be updated.
You can also add 'MyMsn' and 'Bloglines' buttons on your site.
Plus others, give your visitors every opportunity to subscribe
to your RSS Feed or Blog, and you will see a marked increase in
visitors to your site.
Of course, you can also get your own blogging software and
install it on your site. For those who want to choose this route,
it might be helpful to check out this comprehensive comparison of
the different blogging software here:

2. How Do I Place Other RSS Feeds On My Site?
Have a cool RSS Feed from your favorite site and you want to
place that Feed's content on your own site. How is it done?
It's a lot easier than you think!
There are several ways, but we'll again stick with the
easiest way. If you just want to place headlines on your
site - try a free service like
www.feedburner.com and you
will get a headline animator. This will display the RSS feed's
headlines with links to the content.
If you want to place other content from a feed on your site
- one of the easiest ways I found is to use this free site:
www.bigbold.com/rssdigest/
This site will generate the source code (html or javascript)
that you need to place into your webpages. It's good because
it gives your code in several options: Javascript, Php file,
and Iframe.
Keep in mind that Search Engines cannot or don't read
javascript so if you want this daily updated content to be
indexed please be aware of this.
Just take this code and add it your webpages where you
want this content to go.
3. How do I place MSN Search Results Directly on My Site?
MSN has come out with their Beta Program using RSS in their
search. You can now place RSS search results directly onto
your website. It can enrich your site with daily updated content.
And it's quite simple to use; just add "&format=rss" at the end
of the URL in your MSN search engine query. For example, to get
an RSS Feed for'tsunami relief' you would use this url:
http://beta.search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=tsunami+relief&format=rss
4. How do I place Yahoo Results on my site?
In Yahoo the URL would be slightly different:
http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss?p=tsunami+relief&ei=UTF-8&fl=0&x=wrt
Of course, in both cases you can change 'tsunami+relief' with the
keyword or phrase of your choice to suit your website's content.
Yahoo also has an RSS Search Directory here:
http://news.yahoo.com/rss
5. What are Tags? How can I use them on my site?
Tags are more or less keywords for blogs and you should
take advantage of them to bring targeted traffic to your
site or blog.
Tags have hit the radar lately because Technorati, which
indexes 4.5 million blogs, started sorting blog posts by
using tags.
They have created a folksonomy, drawing tags from
different sources, mainly Flickr.com which sorts or
groups pictures and from del.icio.us -- where you
create a tag when you bookmark a page.
Or if your blogging software supports categories; this will
be recognized by Technorati as a tag.
If you want to create a 'tag' it's very simple; just place
this code in your blog:
Computers
(remove asterisks in actual code)
and you will have created a tag for computers.
Conclusion
You have just discovered five easy ways to put RSS on your
website, but you have to implement this newly acquired
information in order to see any results. You don't have to try
all five --- just pick a few and put them on your site. Just take
action and do it.
It's fairly easy, and you will see the benefits of RSS
almost immediately. You will also see what all the fuss is
about!

A Quick Primer to RSS (Really Simple Syndication)
===============================
By Donesia Muhammad
Copyright (c) KDM Publishing.com
I know you see it all the time on the Net these days, but you
still don't know what the heck it is. RSS, RSS, what in the
world is RSS and what can it do for me?
RSS which is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication has also
stood for Rich Site Summary. Regardless, it is an XML based
form of delivering content to the masses. One of the main
reasons why it has become so popular is the fact that it is
free (reminds of the reason why MySQL and PHP is so popular as
well)
It makes it a very simple way to create a site with loads of
content without a huge knowledge of web design or html. And no,
you don't have to set up huge partnerships with big content
sites, you can just grab their information via an RSS feed and
you are up and running. Content worthy of the search engines.
RSS has been around for a few years, but it just started
getting popular in the last couple of years. There have always
been ways to deliver fresh, new content to your visitors
through the use of javascripts, but RSS is much easier which is
why it is catching on like wildfire.
Don't expect it to go anywhere anytime soon. RSS is here to
stay. Long ago, people have realized that content was king, but
getting to everyone was always the problem. Enter RSS
