RSS: Get Informed About Your Favourite Blogs In No Time!
Hey guys!
Today my topic is none other than good old RSS. I was introduced to this magical tool in my freshman year in Computer I course. I was mesmerized to find out about such a useful thing. I had lots of stuff to follow back then and I was constantly searching for each site back and forth to reach the latest news. So, when I was asked to write about this topic on my blog, everthing came full circle.
Today I am going to be informing you about RSS in general, the service I am using and my favourite blog that I am following. If you like to learn more about these, then keep on reading!

The blog is intended for teachers, trainers, lecturers, authors and anyone else with an interest in keeping up with what’s happening in the world of ELT. The aim of the blog is to bring its readers resources they can use in their classrooms, hints and tips for teaching, insights into the lives of publishers and authors of the blog. Speaking of authors, there are many authors writing in the blog coming from different backgrounds, experiences and education levels. There are also guest bloggers who can post about different topics.

look at these categories below:
I think that this blog is very important for teachers who are eager to improve themselves in their field. There are lots of helpful and useful material avaliable on the website which you can make use of in so many different ways. You can use the resources presented by the authors in your own classrooms to have a more appealing teaching experience. By reading the posts about different topics on ELT, you can have better insights into your occupation. I think every teacher should follow this blog to keep their teaching fresh and current, but most importantly, keep developing both as a teacher and a human being.

RSS: Really Simple Syndication

What is RSS?
RSS actually stands for Really Simple Syndication, where
syndication means collection of information from different places. RSS allows a
publisher to automatically push out new contents to users when it becomes
available. It’s basically a list of links with titles, that is updated
periodically by a program on a web server.
How can you use it?
To subscribe to an RSS feed you need a link to this
particular file you wish to follow. Normally the website you wish to follow has
links in the footer to their RSS feed. It can also be called an “Atom” feed,
which is a competing standard but basically for the same thing.
When you have the link/URL you input it into your RSS
aggregator, or feed reader. In this case feeder.co provides feed reading
software for both the desktop, mobile phone and tablet.
What information does RSS provide?
It is all up to the website owner to choose how much
information or what information is presented in the RSS feed. Normally a list
of the latest posts or entries for a website are sorted in chronological order.
Some RSS feeds contain extra metadata, like images, media links, alternative links, author, a
short summary, and much more.
