Wild Bill .....
This question does not have a one sentence answer! If I just

said that one uses this icon to get a site's RSS feed, you still

won't understand. So let's try and answer you in such a way that

it all makes sense to you and, more importantly, that you learn

how to benefit from it.



Now You Have A Web Site - Have You Ever Heard Of Accessibility?
An accessible Web site is easily approached, easily understood, and useable for all. There are .....
Let's say that you like my web site very much and you would like

to read new content as I add it. At this stage there is no way

of informing you when I've added a new page except for notifying

you by email. This assumes that you've provided me with your

e-mail address - which most people are hesitant to do any way.

Plan and think about your content. Think big, have a vision .....
The other way is for you to bookmark my site - but how many

times do people really go back to a site?



What if I told you that you could have a little "window" (called

a reader or an aggregator) on your monitor and that, each time I

updated my site, you are automatically informed about it. How,

you may ask? A headline (called a news feed) and a short summary

to inform/tease you is squirted to your reader. If the teaser

interests you, all you need to do is follow the hyperlink that

will take you to that page on my web site where you can read it

all. If you're not interested, you simply delete the headline.

The process is repeated each time I add new content.



You can of course subscribe to as many feeds as you want to -

from current affairs to people's personal blogs (a blog is short

for web log which is a diary or a journal on the internet).



So, what must you do to set it up and how much is it going to

Let's answer the second question first: Setting it up is FREE -

it will cost you nothing.



This is how to setup a reader or an aggregator on a Windows

system:

You are now ready to add your first feed.



As an example I'll walk you through the process of adding my

site http://www.perfect-party-ideas.com 's XML feed. Navigate to

the site. On the home page you will see the orange XML icon.

Right-click the XML icon and then click the "Copy Shortcut"

option.



An Easy Way To Include RSS In A Web Site
RSS has become a very important issue for web site promotion. This method helps to update web sites daily. A web site .....
Open the RSSReader and click on the green "+ Add" icon in the

top left hand corner. A form opens up that prompts you to enter

the URL of the feed. Just paste the URL here (ctrl-v). Well done

- you've just added your very first RSS feed.



Let's test if it is working. Click the "Get" icon which is to

the left of the "+Add" icon. You should see a number of feeds

arriving in your reader. Simply double-click the ones you are

interested in to read the summary. Click the "Read more" or

"Open in a Browser" links if you want to read the whole article.



Was it that difficult? No, I agree, it's fairly straight

forward.



Now you are ready to sign up for more feeds. Why not sign up for

my blog's feed as well? I use my blog to document the process of

setting up my web site. There I share my ideas, failures,

frustrations, doubts, successes, and articles that have I found

useful. And, B.t.w. I also tell you how to make money from your

web site.
