Advantages of an “ancient” news system: RSS feed

For Writers (advices) Informative News Writing

Feed Computer icon.When moving this blog to self-hosting, after years I came across RSS (Rich Site Summary) feeds again. It is an ancient system

Initial release RSS 0.90 (Netscape), March 15, 1999; 22 years ago

with which messages from blogs or websites with appropriate plugins can simply be sent over the Internet, and automatically received.

Wikipedia (R): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS

In this way you can simply subscribe to news and display them on different devices. If done correctly, recipients will also offer a direct link to the feed’s originator.

WordPress users, especially WordPress.com, can use this RSS feed to quickly and easily distribute the information about their postings.

Note: Of course, it cannot be ruled out that someone breaks the copyright, and outputs the data automatically entered into their page via the feed as their own data.

Nevertheless, it is a good way to make your own blog and postings better known.


Thats how it works:

1. Passive:

Make your own RSS feed (blog feed) known on your home page. By using the RSS logo (see above!) Linked to the feed address.

For users of WordPress.com, the address is: https: //<blogname>.wordpress.com/feed/

2. Active:

Register your own page (if a feed is available) in RSS directories and portals.


Here are the addresses of some of these portals:
