Feeds

Known as either Real Simple Syndication (RSS) or Rich Site Summary, RSS is a relatively new and easy way to share content among different Web sites. Journal provides an RSS Feeds page, enabling your journal to be updated with information from other Journals, Blogs and News Organizations. Feeds from these organizations are then uploaded into your Journal as links that navigate back to the website or topic you subscribed to. It's like having Headline News on your Website!

Along with RSS Feeds, you or your viewers can also subscribe to Feed Reader Services which add your Journal to standard Websites and blog pages such as "My Yahoo", "Bloglines" and "NewsGator".
