Question: What are the orange boxes saying XML or RSS about?
Answer:
These icons popping up all over the Internet represent Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication. RSS is a method for websites and blogs to share news and frequent web information changes. It means easy distribution and syndication for your knowledge and information by way of RSS feed. As a small business owner, syndication of your content means more exposure for you and more web traffic.
Most blog programs will create RSS feed as you post information to your blog. You will just have to promote your RSS feed to news aggregators. Your visitors can subscribe to your feed by using news aggregators.
