While we're on the subject, here's a single page all about site syndication: "RSS: What it is, Where to get it, How to make it, How to use it":http://www.interleaves.org/~rteeter/rss.html

A few alternative services

As usual, there's more than one way to let a cat out of a bag: A similar free RSS service for your webpages is offered by "FeedSweep":http://www.howdev.com/services/feedsweep/ from HowDev.com, and another by FeedRoll.

Mind you, what _we_ really want to see is more local websites where people are _generating_ these XML syndication files so we can fold you into the "sidebar news":/aggregator here on the SBP!

Ever wonder about that little orange XML link in the sidebar? It's called Syndicate because that's what it does, it syndicates the South Bruce Peninsular into a small file giving you the headlines and teasers for the stories currently on our front page.

Some people like to call this RSS for Really Simple Syndication, and others like to call it Web news that comes to you ...

And now, thanks to the kind people at Maricopa, if you have a website of your own, you can use our feed to liven up your site and put a little bit of the SBP into your pages to show your web visitors the latest happenings in and around the gateway to the Bruce. All you need to do is adjust the settings at the Build a Feed You Can Cut 'n Paste page, and then click the button to generate the bit of Javascript code you need to paste into your webpage.
