What’s RSS?

What IS RSS?
RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication,” and is a popular way for websites to syndicate their content. When you subscribe to our RSS feed, you can receive that content as soon as it’s published, without the need to visit the HandsHeadlines web site. No longer will you have to remember how to spell “HandsHeadlines.com” Nor will you need to tie a string on your finger to remember to visit our site! 🙂

The RSS Feed shows you only the newest content which has been posted. Subscribing to any RSS feed is FREE.

Can I Receive an RSS Feed by Email?
YES, it is very easy. Click here for more information.


This is the generally accepted symbol for RSS. You may have seen this or a similar button on some web sites which offer RSS feeds. If you click on it, it will show you the RSS “raw feed.” When viewed as a web page, the RSS Feed might look like gibberish. You may be able to read the titles and see some pictures, but it won’t look like a normal web page in your browser. You’ll need a special progam called a RSS Reader or a Feed Reader to view the feed. (See “How to Subscribe to Our Site via RSS” )

Why Should I Care About RSS?
In the near future, newer verions of Internet Explorer or whatever Web Browser you use to look at web pages will have the ability for you to view RSS feeds automatically. (A few already do have this capability) Since this will save time in viewing updates from all your favorite sites, RSS will become more and more popular.
