What is RSS/XML and why do I see computer code? |
|
 |
In a nutshell, RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication (or Rich Site Summary depending on who you ask!) and it is an automated way to distribute news to other websites, fansites, blogs or just about any place. That little orange XML icon means our site has an RSS news feed that you can access for free!
So how do you I use it?
Well, if you do NOT have a fansite you can download an RSS reader program that will display all your favorite RSS news feeds in one place. Search the web and I'm sure it won't take you long to find an RSS reader that is right for you. An RSS news reader will allow you to have RSS news feeds delivered right to your desktop without ever having to open a web browser!
If you DO have a fansite, you can add the URL in the XML button to your website and it will show all the latest news from Maxis without having to update your site.
You can get a more in-depth description here at Wikipedia.com or you can always Google it!
