Blogging Gurus: (yes, I'm an idiot)
 

How the hell does this RSS thing work? Break it down to "RSS for Dummies," please.

I know what it is and what it's supposed to do, but how do I go about USING it? I have no idea how to set it up, nor how to submit stuff for syndication. :helpme

im so sorry.. i meant to contact you a week ago when you were wondering which software was powering my blog service

do you still need this info?

Yes please. :) Hit me on Q if you would, please. :)

Okay, people. Let's work with me here.

Its basicly a news/infomatin feed from another site you can use on your site, I use one from a news site in a small Iframe. Here is some good info on how to use them http://www.mnot.net/rss/tutorial/

I've no clue who you are, but you are a gem among coal. Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words :)

If you have any problems setting it up give me a PM (this board uses PMs right?) I can code in VBasic, HTML, PHP, MySQL, CSS, JAVA and also unrealtournament map editor :D

you are not alone, i dont understand how this shit works too lol

RSS stand for really simple syndication. Think of it as dynamic headlines.
When a feed loads it pulls the latest headlines from the rss link and displays them as clickable links.

Any link can be included in an RSS feed doesn't have to be headlines :)

Okay, so www.dominablog.com is being done with b2evolution. It automatically creates xml pages for syndication. How the hell do I get those pages into syndication?

Thanks TopJimmy. It's one of the things I keep postponing to learn how it works.
