Josh Spaulding does a great job with some refresher info or How to RSS where he discusses some of the basics to using RSS and What Rss Means.

For instance if you wanted to keep up with my blog Desktop-Wealth….just click on the link, leave your email address and each new post will be emailed to you…..that’s one way to use RSS feeds.

If you wanted to see what an rss feed looks like, click on Desktop-Wealth RSS Feed. You can add this feed to your yahoo page or google page….great for getting some link luv.

RSS has been around for quite a while….I remember when it first was introduced “the gurus” proclaimed that it would replace email. If you remember, email needed and might still need replacement because of the spam problem. Interent service providers were blocking everybody’s emails.

Consequently there were software programs and scripts developed that allowed anyone to add the desired RSS feed and have it show up instantly on your members of visitors desktop. You can imagine how internet marketers were drewling over the possibilities……no spam blockers, content delivered right to someone’s desktop……rss had to be a gift from heaven. So it’s important to really GET the “how to rss” in the near future.

Well….rss never really caught on in that respect. However, for those in the know….we can selectively pick the rss feeds from the sites we follow and put them in a rss reader to keep an eye on what are favorite bloggers are doing. Understanding how to rss is very important.

Josh explains the concept of how to use rss feeds for keeping up on subjects, bloggers and websites.

There is so much more one can do with rss, however, to keep it simple……use it to keep up on your favorite subject. Do a little research and began to see what the possiblities are when using rss and learn how many different ways rss can be used to make money.

At first I wasn’t going to comment on Josh’s rss post. After all, I already knew a lot about rss feeds. (although not nearly everything). Then I started thinking, after you’ve been online for a while….one can get a little pompous and arogant about the knowledge they’ve compiled. That’s a little sic! So why not share some of the how to’s of rss.

New people are jumping on the web every day…..rss could mean just about anything and problem means nothing to the newbie….so kudos to you Josh for getting newbie that’s been blinded by the light.

Do yourself a favor and do a little research on RSS and think of how you might use it. I predict RSS feeds will really start being used this next year in a variety of ways…..learn the how to rss and how to use them to get yourself branded and maybe even make a little extra cash
