I was going over the shop settings with someone today and they asked me “what is RSS?” This is one of my favorite questions and I LOVE rss, but it is also one of the hardest things to explain in one sentence. I have made many attempts at trying to explain RSS and blogging - it took me 3 months to “get” RSS thanks to my friend Dave who never gave up on explaining it to me.
Well thankfully the guys from Creative Commons have put together this nifty 5 minute video that does an amazing job of explaining RSS in a quick convenient format. If you are new to RSS, I think you will find this helpful.










Thank you so much for this video link. I thought I knew the basics of RSS but I quickly realized one minute into this video that I did not have a clue. Not that it is complicated but it is not widely explained very easily from what I have found and I never took the time to google it before. I was very happy to see you do this post. Thanks again.
I am so glad you found this helpful. Once you get RSS it makes so much sense but it took me a long time to get it! I wish I could make everyone watch this video. I think there are a lot of uses for RSS to help you promote your business too. One easy thing is to add your RSS feed to your facebook page. Then every time something is new on your feed it is added to your profile so all of your friends can see it.
