Throughout this site, you may notice the following graphic ->

. This indicates an RSS 2.0 feed. RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication", which allows you to stay informed about website changes without first browsing to the website, and logging in. RSS brings up-to-the-minute info directly to your computer.

How this works:

When you see the orange XML graphic, this indicates that there is an RSS 'feed' available for this part of the site. Some areas that support RSS feeds are: Site News, Sermons, WattsLine, and Journal entries. Whenever a new entry is posted to these areas of the website, the RSS 'feed' file is also updated on the website. This file is XML (hence the graphic), and is not human-readable. RSS feeds are designed to be run through a special program called an RSS 'aggregator', that turns the XML into a short summary of all the recent posts, and links directly to that information. This allows you to save RSS feeds from all of the popular sites you visit into one view, so you can tell at-a-glance when there is something new that you're interested in. This is really convenient, and a great time saver!

Some popular RSS aggregators:

Firefox 1.0, a popular web browser

Yahoo! (if you have a Yahoo! account, you can customize your My Yahoo! page to add RSS feeds)
SharpReader, a standalone RSS reader application
Bloglines: check your feeds online
