RSS Feeds

Waldo’s Web uses RSS feeds to publish blog articles and website activity updates.

Really Simple Syndication, or RSS, is a web feed that allows users and applications to access updates to the website in a standardized, computer-readable format. RSS feeds allow you to keep track of many different websites in a single news aggregator, called an RSS reader. The RSS reader will automatically check the RSS feed for new content, allowing the list to be automatically passed from website to website or from website to user. This passing of content is called web syndication.

Subscribing to Waldo’s Web removes the need for you to manually check the website for new content. Instead, your RSS reader constantly monitors the site and informs you of any blog posts or updates.

How Do I Subscribe?

To subscribe to Waldo’s Web, you will need to install an RSS reader on your computer or mobile device. Generally, you then subscribe to feeds either by clicking on one of the links below, or by entering a feed’s URI into the reader, or by clicking on the browser’s feed icon in your web browsers toolbar.

There are several different ways to subscribe, depending on the browser you use, and whether you are using a laptop or desktop computer, or a tablet or smartphone. Every single one of these is easy to set up, though they do offer slightly different features.
