What is this symbol?
 
I know so I' m not asking cause I don't know.
Do the rest of you know what it means and how to use this in either a reader or to update your yahoo or msn homepage?
Free siggy to the first person that can explain it and how to use it so someone that is clueless on it
Yes that's a challenge!

Well emm --It's funny you asked this question since I decided to give this function a try just this week.

RSS--stands for Rich Site Summary. Use of this function allows someone to have content from a website offering this function to receive updates sent to any personal or home web page you have set up. You can read this content without having to visit the site you are getting the feed from.

For instance I have Google as my home page and I have tweaked it get a lot of news from different sites available to me on my google homepage.

Aimoo has an RSS function which will export to your designated homepage, the latest discussions or threads
that are active on , for example, the GFCT site on the aimoo domain. That way when your homepage opens you can swiftly see what is happening on your various sites (communities) without having to leave your homepage.

A site that offers RSS will display the button that you have shown and all you would have to do is click on that buttion and enter the link to where you want the feed delivered and the content will be sent there. Another option is to get the RSS reader and set up dedicated section or page just for feeds from other websites offering the RSS feed function.

Cheers

I've heard of it but never used it. Couldn't figure it out. Easier to just go to my favs and go directly there. With all my groups splitting off in different directions, I may have to learn

All I'm getting is a red x but it doesn't matter.  I've never heard of it and probably wouldn't know how to use it.  Jakey likes cats and cheers siggies Emm.

Jakey is right and I wil be working on a new sig this week
Kitty or les Habitants for Hockey season Jakey?
 RSS is my new best fiend
I use Yahoo as my homepage so RSS lets me stay up to date with all my favorite sites in one place.
Jakey uses Google homepage and it also works if you use my msn as your homepage as weel
I can see all the new topics and threads on my communities and keep up to date on my favorite blogs all on my homepage.

thanks emm

I think since this could be the year for Les Habs--perhaps a siggy with the mtl canadiens logo would be great. Would it be too much trouble to use my real name(Sean)?

Thanks for this thread emm!! I always wondered what that meant! I think it would be so much easier to have all that content come to one page than have to go clicking around to see what's new.
 
When I get some time, I am going to try to set it up :)
