Syndication Feed FAQ

Introduction

Einstein

Syndication is one of the best features of Web 2.0 . Feeds are available on this website in two formats: RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and Atom.

How do I find feeds?

They are shown by this button: RSS , which is the logo for RSS. You can also access to feeds by a text link as well.

Great! I can't see the feeds: I get some code listed

That's because you're using an old version of a browser that doesn't support syndication. Feeds aren't meant to be viewed anyway, they're meant to send information to you so that you stay updated with a site's new content. Honestly, Get Firefox!

I heard about suscribing to a feed. What's that?

By suscribing to a feed, we mean bookmarking it. In that way, your browser will be capable of automatically detecting a change in the feed's content since the last time you visited, thus enabling you to see the new stuff on this site with just a click of a button. You can also use News Agregators (Bloglines, Google Reader, or even your Wasp)
