The Get Home Denver Team

It looks like you're new here. I appreciate you stopping by! Feel free to throw down some graffiti on my wall by adding a comment to this post! And, if you like what you see, please subscribe to the feed and I'll deliver all my new content, right to you! Thanks for visiting!

I wanted to write about RSS feeds. They are a great way to keep updated on information that changes regularly (hint: Get Home Denver’s Site) You can subscribe via an RSS reader, they are very common and easy to use, just google RSS Reader, and you’ll have a lot to chew on. Later versions of Internet Explorer allow you save RSS Feeds directly to your favorites for easy reference.

I prefer the using Outlook to get feeds! It is standard on the latest version of outlook (2007), but there are plug-ins you can install to make older versions work. The reason I like this method, is that whenever a feed changes, Outlook automatically pulls the information in to my RSS Folder, and it appears on my new messages screen. Just seems to work the best for me.

If all this seems overwhelming to you, I have added a feature to subscribe via email. This way, you don’t have to change anything you do now, just check your email, and you’ll know if anything has been updated on the Get Home Denver site. (Like all the great investment deals we are finding!) Simply click the link on the right, titled Via Email in the GET THE FEED section.

I’ve included some info on RSS below. Feel free to contact us if you have questions, or need help in setting it up.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a “feed,” “web feed,” or “channel,” contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that’s easier than checking them manually.

RSS content can be read using software called an “RSS reader”, “feed reader” or an “aggregator“. The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed’s link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user’s subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds.

The initials “RSS” are used to refer to the following formats:

• Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)
• RDF Site Summary (RSS 1.0 and RSS 0.90)
• Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)

RSS formats are specified using XML, a generic specification for the creation of data formats.”
