Webmasters, how would you like to have fresh content updated on your site without ever lifting a finger? Black Greek Network has now made it possible for you to get fresh content updated on your website through the use of a new technology called RSS.
What is RSS?
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication." RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, like Black Greek Network via news aggregation tools and services like My Yahoo!
But it's not just for the main news posted on the BGN front page. We have broken our news feeds into very niche selections that can be syndicated via RSS. This allows a webmaster to only provide news that caters to his or her organization.
For example, a webmaster for a alumni chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi would only want to have information regarding his fraternity and not any other organization.
What are the advantages of using RSS?
1. Search engines love fresh content. You can improve your website's search engine listing by having revelant content frequently updated on your site.
2. No more searching for fresh content or update issues. Let the services of the BGN RSS feeds update your site while you work on other important items.
3. Offer a value add to your website. Fresh content = more visits and increased traffic. Your web visitors will love you for it!
How Do I Add RSS Feed to my site?
Black Greek Network has decided not to write a how to manual on adding RSS Feed to a site. We feared that we would have to field a lot of technical questions regarding this technology and that is simply not our area of expertise.
