RSS Coming Soon

As part of the new Northwest Horse Source online presence, we will be setting up RSS feeds for the articles, blog, and news sections of the site very soon. We're getting the "help" functions in place first so if you have questions or problems, they'll be easy to solve.

Response to our RSS poll was pretty evenly split among those who wanted a feed, those who didn't, and those who weren't sure what RSS was. We decided to offer the option because it won't affect those who don't want to participate. For those who don't know what RSS is, here's the nutshell version:

RSS, commonly defined as Really Simple Syndication (there are other definitions, such as Rich Site Summary), allows you to set up a link so you get any updates to our site delivered to your favorite reader. Every time we post a new article, if you have the article RSS feed set up, you will receive notification and a direct link to the full article text. You can choose where the feed is sent--usually to a feed reader that can appear on your home page or in certain email programs. It's an easy way to keep up to date with the latest news and happenings at NWHS without having to check the website frequently.

If you'd like a more detailed description of what RSS is and how it works, check out the definition on Wikipedia.
