What is RSS?

RSS, an acronym for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary, is a format for syndicating content from web sites.

More technically speaking, it is an XML-based protocol that allows for the automatic distribution of Internet content from via RSS aggregators or readers.

RSS allows you to receive free updates by subscribing (or clicking on buttons labeled 'RSS' or 'XML') to information from sites that publish content (e.g. news outlets or bloggers). Think of it as an easy way to get a summary of "What's New" from all of your favourite web sites. Lewis Media uses RSS feeds to syndicate a variety of information including:

• LMI Blog
• LMI News and Press Releases
• Software Updates
  

On the other side of RSS - you may want to offer subscription options to your website visitors, so make sure that the content management system you settle on allows you to do so easily Feel free to contact us for more information about RSS and how our easy-to-use web CMS Bistro supports it.
