RSS / Atom feeds

What is RSS?

RSS feeds provide a way to offer content outside of a web browser and are stored in a structured, uncomfortably readable format. A news page might have an RSS feed which contains only the headlines and links to the full stories. RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication".


WebSite-Watcher and RSS feeds

WebSite-Watcher will convert RSS feeds into a readable format and you can handle them as normal web pages.

Normally no special configuration is required for RSS feeds. If WebSite-Watcher cannot identify an RSS feed automatically and is unable to convert it to a readable web page, then you have to change the file type setting in the bookmark properties from "auto detect" to "rss".
