What is RSS?
There are several definitions but the most popular definition is that RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication'. But, you may ask, what does 'Really Simple Syndication' mean? It means having information delivered to your computer instead of you having to remember to go get it. An RSS Reader detects and displays new information whenever it is updated.

The Macro Express News and What's New at Insight Software Solutions email newsletters have been available for several years. These newsletters are sent whenever a new version of Macro Express or one of our other products is available. However, more and more often we are hearing from customers who do not receive the newsletter. With the increase in spam, anti-spam filtering programs and services are becoming more aggressive. Many ISPs are now starting to apply spam filters before you even see your email messages. And we are finding that people are changing their email addresses more frequently. The consequence is that many customers no longer receive our email newsletters.

As an alternative to the email newsletters we are now offering RSS Feeds for news and information about our products.

How do I use RSS?
Using RSS is very simple. You need to install an RSS Reader program and then subscribe to RSS Feeds. Once you have subscribed to an RSS Feed, your RSS Reader will display new information whenever that feed is updated.

What is an RSS Feed?
An RSS Feed provides information about a specific topic. In addition to ours, RSS Feeds are available from an ever-growing number of web sites such as CNN, BBC News, USA Today, and Microsoft. You can identify a website with an RSS feed by looking for an image like , or . These are often orange but may also be in other colors.

How do I subscribe to an RSS Feed?
The details vary between RSS Readers but generally you click on the , or image when you see it on a website and then open your RSS reader and perform some action like click on a button.

How do I get an RSS Reader?
There are many different RSS readers. Some are low cost and others are free.

In addition, some browsers such as Firefox and Opera will display information about RSS Feeds.
