What is RSS?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and has been used by millions of users on the Internet to keep track of updates from their favorite websites.

Before RSS, there was little help in staying up to date with your favorite websites. You either had to sign up for a newsletter or bookmark the website and check back periodically to see if there was any new content. The former was effective, but you still had to wait for the website authors to send out a newsletter. The latter took too much time and effort.

Let RSS do the work for you

With RSS, gone are the days of checking multiple websites for new content or anxiously watching your inbox for your next newsletter.

RSS is a specially formatted webpage that RSS readers understand and can process. Popular readers like Google Reader, My Yahoo and Newsgator, let you stay up to date with multiple websites all at the same time.

How do I use it?

Take the web address of our RSS feed, http://www.rvbprecision.com/rss/articles, and add it to one of the websites previously mentioned.

Anytime we add a new article or site update, your RSS reader of choice will automatically be notified, thus informing you of new, great content from our site.

And thats about it. Not all that scary. Once you get the hang of it, its extremely addictive. Just don't forget to come back to our site from time to time.
