Today, May 1st, it’s the RSS Awareness Day. Nowadays there are so many awareness days that you can hardly remember them all, and it seems that anyone can create an awareness day if they can promote it the right way. Perhaps I should create the Dirty Panties Awarenes Day, I think they deserve a special day, or not.

On to the RSS. It’s actually scary that so many blog readers still don’t know what RSS is. And they are really missing something big. Those of you that are using an RSS reader can probably agree with me that they are a time saver. It’s like having tons of magazines landing on your doorstep every hour!
And not to forget many new bloggers doesn’t even know if they have RSS on their blogs or not.

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format used to deliver information from websites and pages that get updated regularly. An RSS document (which is called feed) contains either a summary or the full content from a website.

The main benefit of RSS is that it enables people to stay connected with their favorite websites without having to visit them. Once you subscribe to a particular RSS feed, you will automatically receive updates from the website that publishes the feed, whenever they release new content. - From RSSDay

So the main thing to learn here is that you should make sure you have a site feed and that people can subscribe it easily. There is nothing worse than visiting a blog you like that doesn’t offer RSS feeds!
