RSS Feed from The Journey with Jesus

We are currently experimenting with the use of RSS news feeds to allow readers of our site to be notified when new material (essays, book reviews, film reviews, and poem & prayer reviews) are posted.

If you are familiar with RSS, all you need to do to make use of our RSS feed is to subscribe to the following url in your news reader, mailer, or other RSS-capable software:

 http://www.journeywithjesus.net/rss/jjf.xml

Note: this url links to an XML file that contains the latest four weeks' of our news items. Since it is an XML file, and not an HTML file, it will not be very useful to display it in most web browsers. It is intended for use by RSS-capable software such as mail and news readers. Mozilla Thunderbird and Opera's mail application can handle it, as well as many other recent mail programs. These programs will be able to interpret the XML instructions and will show each news item as a separate post, and (depending on how your mail/news reader is configured) will show a short description of each article, and a link to it or its contents directly in your mailer.

If you do try our RSS feed, please let us know what you think about it, especially if you have problems, suggestions, or questions! Send Dan an email at dan@journeywithjesus.net and cc: a copy to our webmaster at webmaster@journeywithjesus.net.

If you're not already familiar with RSS, see below.

What is RSS?

RSS, an acronym for "Really Simple Syndication" (originally "Rich Site Summary"), is a protocol commonly used to distribute information about what is new or noteworthy on a website. You can subscribe to RSS "feeds" from a website and be kept apprised of new material as it is posted. Two examples of sites using RSS are the New York Times and the BBC (look for the buttons labeled "RSS" or "XML" on their pages).
