Setting up an RSS Feed

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and it lets you automatically receive blog posts without having to visit a Website to view them.  Most people choose to view RSS feeds from their email or through a reader. To use a reader, you must subscribe to it before you can sign up for the RSS feed. Most readers are free, but some may have a nominal cost.
If you don’t use a reader but might be interested in using one, we’re sharing a few of the more popular ones to check out. This is not an exhaustive list, so if you don’t find one you like, search for other alternatives.
