January 30, 2007 - Stay up to date on Songwriting Software Plus site developments with our site improved XML/RSS feeds.

You may have been seeing those little orange XML/RSS buttons around the Internet and they're now on this site - just to your left on top of the navigation bar..

If you were wondering what they are... they more readily help you get newsfeeds from sites like CNN or BBC, as well as just about anything else, like news on upcoming movies or your favorite band's tour updates, etc.... and now updates to this site's content... all these things as they happen.

"RSS" means "Really Simple Syndication." It lets you keep up-to-date without having to check a site every day or week - it's like having your favorite parts of the Web come to you.

How do you get started? Easy! Download a free RSS Reader first. This is special software that reads the RSS feeds...

For Windows checkout -- RssReader http://www.rssreader.com/

For Macs checkout -- NetNewsWire http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/

Once you're set up, here's all you have to do... Right-click (control-click for Mac users) on any orange RSS button on a site, blog or news source that interests you.

Start by right-clicking on an orange XML/RSS button - like the one up above the nav bar to your left on this page. Then... Select Copy Shortcut ("Copy Link to Clipboard" for Mac, "Copy Link Location" for Firefox browsers), and paste that URL into your RSS Reader.

And that's it! You're subscribed and updates will come to you as they happen.

Do this on any site you like that has this great feature.
