RSS Tutorial - Organization

Each lesson has a Summary and Detail.

• Read the summary for general information. It presents the key points.
• Read as much of the detail as you choose to fill in the blanks.
• Some lessons have reference material for additional reading.

RSS Tutorial - Notes

• The RSS Tutorial is updated periodically. I collect new material in the interim. I collect interesting articles, blog posts, and product and service information in a link blog called RSS Tutorial Reference Blog.
• I keep a change log for the RSS Tutorial in an RSS feed file called the RSS Tutorial Change Log.
• Feedback is welcome.
  • Send any suggestions, corrections or testimonials to les.bain@wizard-creek.com.
  • Feel free to add questions or comments on each page of the tutorial.
• The RSS Tutorial uses CSS to hold the outline on the page while scrolling the lesson text. I suggest setting the browser to full screen using F11 on both Firefox and  Internet Explorer.
• Some of the product links in this tutorial are affiliate links. When I found a product or service that I like and would recommend, I signed up to be an affiliate.
• The color scheme was picked because it was close to orange, the RSS color standard.
