This post originated from an RSS feed registered with PHP Buzz
by Douglas Clifton.
Original Post: What is RSS?
Feed Title: loadaverageZero
Feed URL: http://www.loadaveragezero.com/xml/rss.xml
Feed Description: Dedicated to current Web standards: XHTML and XML, CSS, Accessibility, Development and Programming with client-server Open Source technology.
Perhaps the terms "aggregator," "autodiscovery," and "feed" are part of your daily
lexicon, but I am to understand that as few as 10% of Web users even know what RSS
is or what to do with those orange XML chicklets. And worse, clicking on one usually
results in a page full of confusing source code or the browser prompting you to
download the file. These are not good results for visitors that are new to RSS.
So, even though the target audience of loadaverageZero are Web developers, who
presumably understand RSS well enough, I felt it was important to author a document
that describes RSS in layman's terms, and explains how visitors can subscribe to
my feeds.
