RSS feed was most popular thing for keeping track of our favorite websites. With any changes or updates from the blog we would get a notification about its update. We may use any web applications for our blog but WordPress RSS Feed is an automatic feature which we can enjoy without setting up our News Feed.
What is an RSS Feed?
In Today's world we are bound by many social networking sites as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest etc. So when we are interested in any particular blog then we may follow them in any social media and continuously get updated by them. But it is not necessary for blog owners to post each and every update in social medias. Then we may manually need to visit our favorite sites to get updated. There where comes the use of RSS Feed.
RSS stands for Really simple Syndication also known as news feed which automatically syndicates the blog contents in your followers mail boxes or other devices. With Rss feed you may get many social shares as tweets or shares and increase your blog's visibility.
