    Hi everyone,

    Great forum-I wish I had found it sooner!

    I have been hearing that I should submit my rss feed but I don't really understand them and depite searching on google...I STILL don't uderstand.

    What rss feed? I know-stupid question, but I looked on google and no one explains it well enough. I have never subscribed to an rss feed, what happens when I do?

    I have a wordpress but don't know how to set up my rss feed. Could you please tell me how to set this up?

    Where should I submit my rss to?


    Sorry for the questions but I'm just not 'getting it.'

    Thank you,

    Robert Anderson

    rss-feed it make your user not to have visit you webpage each time,.... so every time your web is update their automatic sent it to user that all register on your feed, it mean user can spend more time to other thing,... not only visit your webpage...

    In simple words, it is a summary of your recent blog posts that get promoted in XML format that can then be converted to html by reader programs. It is like new headlines.

    Exactly what he say and check out my new RSS URL here http://www.cheapcarinsurance.co.za/cheapcarrss.xml

    There are some free RSS directory where you can submit your RSS URL such as feedage.com, rss-feeds-directory.com... and more.

    thanks for everyones replies.

    I know understand how it works and why people would want to use rss feeds.

    I think your answers have put all the pieces together-it actually makes sense now and I know what I need to do.

    Thanks again,

    Robert Anderson
