If you spend anytime browsing the Internet, you have probably seen some variation of the logo pictured above and at the right. The logo indicates a particular website offers an RSS Feed.
What is RSS?
RSS provides a way to aggregate web content into a common place for whomever wants it. The actually acronym for RSS is often disputed, but the common one is Really Simple Syndication. RSS is often utilized by websites that have content that change frequently such as news sites, event-driven sites and blogs.
What is the Benefit?
If the sites that you visit regularly offer an RSS feed, then you can use an RSS reader . An RSS reader will pull the information from the websites you subscribe to and publish it all in one place.
For example, instead of visiting CNN, Fox News and MSN everyday, you can read the latest stories from all 3 news sites in place. Also, as soon as new content is added, it is pushed to your reader or emailed to you.
Did you know…
There are RSS feeds for a huge variety of information, including praise dance & worship arts! Here are some sites you can subscribe to:
- Paneh Praise Dance & Mime Ministry (this site)
- Company Keepers: Dance Ministry Talk
- The Praise Dance Life with Jocelyn Richard
- Dawn Churchill’s Desktop

But before you’ll subscribe, you’ll need a reader. My personal favorite is Google Reader. Set up your FREE Google account and start subscribing to your favorite sites!
