What is RSS? A simple way to follow a blog

Melbourne Wellness · · 2 min read

Would you like to keep up with a blog without remembering to visit it? An RSS feed lets a compatible reader collect article updates in one place.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. A feed can include an article's title, link, description and publication date, which a reader uses to display updates. RSS Advisory Board — RSS 2.0 specification.

How do you use it?

  1. Choose an app or service that supports RSS.
  2. Find the feed link on the website you want to follow.
  3. Copy that link into the reader's option for adding a feed or subscription.
  4. Open the reader when you want to browse updates, then follow an article link to read more.

The wording of the buttons varies between readers. Follow the help instructions for the app you choose; a browser may display the feed as structured text rather than a normal article page.

Where do you start here?

You can browse our blog directly or copy the Melbourne Wellness RSS feed link into a compatible reader. Choose whichever is easier for you.

A feed subscription is not an email newsletter or a clinic appointment. You do not need to submit health information to read our blog. Check a reader's own privacy and account requirements before choosing it.

If an old subscription stops updating

Compare the address saved in your reader with the feed linked on the website. An old address may no longer be the one the site uses. If the addresses differ, add the current feed using the reader's instructions.

You can still visit the blog normally if you prefer. An empty feed does not necessarily mean the reader is broken; there may be no articles available in it yet.
