Real Life Longwood - Receive Updates Automatically via RSS
What is RSS?
RSS ("Really Simple Syndication") is an easy way for you to be automatically notified of new content on a web site, thus avoiding the need to revisit to check if new content has been added. Users add RSS feeds to their feed readers and newly added content appears in the feed reader whenever it is posted on the web site. Seeing how users usually subscribe to multiple feeds, the feed reader is an aggregator that allows the user to read all of their feeds from one convenient spot. In the case of Longwood REAL Life, these notifications can be for an individual student's episodes or for all the episodes.
