What is RSS?

November 9, 2005 – 6:58 pm

RSS

RSS is a family of XML files format for web syndication used by news websites and weblogs. The acronym stands for one of the following standards:

* Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.9x)

* RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)

* Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.x)

RSS is used to provide items containing short descriptions of web
content together with a link to the full version of the content. This
information is delivered as an XML file called RSS feed, RSS stream, or RSS channel. An orange rectangle with the letters XML or RSS is often used as a link to a site’s RSS feed.

RSS is widely used by the weblog community and major news
organizations.


Basics of Blogging

November 1, 2005 – 1:20 pm

This short article—intended for the readers of blogs—will describe the process for newcomers.

Categories.There are two categories of blogs.

One is the traditional weblog, where a Web surfer shares his online discoveries.

The second is the Web diary, where a person shares his or her thoughts of the day. Often, blogs of one style have elements of the other. A diarist might discuss a link, while traditional webloggers will commonly ramble on about something that happened to them that day. Though the discussion here applies to both types of blogs, it focuses mainly on the weblog style.

Blog layout. Blogs are laid out in a last-in-first-out style. This means that the last item posted or written is at the top of the blog. Very few blogs violate this model, since it earmarks the site as a blog, and the mechanism of the software encourages it by default. Online magazines that purport to be something else are actually blogs if they use this style, and are probably laid out with blogging software.
