If you have read blogs before you may know what an RSS feed is and already be subscribed to some. For those of you who don’t know, it is a way you can choose by subscription to receive regular information.

Typically RSS feeds deliver information from websites that are regularly updated and where the content is of current interest. Information such as news headlines, weather updates and magazine articles etc are common. The platform you choose to receive the information ranges from computer based applications to mobile phones.

Subscribing to a feed is easy, you can subscribe to the Titman Firth Blog for example by clicking the RSS feed icon below, then simply select the a reader method of your choice. Our technical team currently favours ‘Newsgator’, this works both online for remote use, and with your Outlook email software and alerts you when a new post is published in the same way you are alerted to new mail.

The business benefits are great as the only people to receive the feeds are ones that have chosen to do so, which means they have an interest in the subject matter, great for current and potential clients. Better still is the fact that the process is automated, readers can subscribe, de-subscribe and receive all new posts automatically.

Additional information on RSS feeds and other types of feeds can also be found clicking the RSS feed icon below. For more information on website design and development including blog and post production please leave a reply to this post (and subscribe!).
