What is RSS?


RSS allows you to quickly preview the latest Web pages on this site. Once you subscribe to the feed, a list of www.deeper-devotion.net pages appears in your browser's header. You then can see, without actually visiting the site, which pages have been added which you have not yet read.

RSS is a very handy tool for any site you want to follow. Once you get started, it's like having your favorite parts of the Web come to you. No need to go out and check for updates all the time. No need for bookmarks!

"RSS" stands for "Really Simple Syndication." But that's just a fancy way of saying that you can keep up with all the updates to this site without having to check the site every week to see "what's new."

How do you get started? It's easy!
