What is RSS and why should you care? I could chat about this all day but folks at Democracy in Action did instead and did it better than I would have. So you should go take a look at this post on their blog titled…
Why Nonprofit Managers Must Use RSS … And How to Start
Using RSS is (really, I kid you not) quite simple. IE7 and Firefox browsers (use Firefox, use Firefox, use Firefox…) have RSS readers built in that work quite well.
Creating RSS content is sometimes simple. Sometimes not so simple. Blogs make it easy. All posts on ecommarama is automagically turned into RSS content. Our website at wilderness.org does NOT, unfortunately, make it easy.
But if you’re not using RSS to keep up with news, blog posts and content from useful website then you probably should look into it. Might also give you a sense of how we could use it on our own site.
