What is RSS? Glad You Asked!

By now, you have probably noticed that our Boston Restaurant Blog has all these funny little orange RSS buttons next to the entries. And all of a sudden, our Boston Restaurant Forum has these little buttons, too. So you're probably asking, "What gives? What is RSS, anyway?" Well, even though it may seem confusing, it is actually a very simple concept, and one that can simplify your browsing when you're on the Boston's Hidden Restaurants site.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, although other people think it may stand for something else, but we'll stick with this one for now. We have a page that explains RSS in detail, so if you want to learn all about it, go to our RSS Information Page. But to put it in simple terms, RSS basically lets you see what our latest blog and forum entries are, without having to search through the Web site. In other words, if you want to check out the last few blog entries, RSS technology automatically updates this information everytime a new entry is added, so all you have to do is bookmark the RSS page for the restaurant blog. There are different forms of these pages for both the blog and the forum, all of which are on the RSS Information Page shown above. So head over to that page and find out more about RSS, which, by the way, is being used increasingly by all kinds of Web sites, from news sites to blogs to forums.

And, of course, if you have any questions on how to use RSS, contact us and we will try to help.
