How To Use RSS on LSU

Here's a quick and dirty tutorial for how to use RSS feeds on Land Surveyors United to share discussions with one click. Do you have Gmail? (if not you can do this with any RSS reader). When you're logged into your gmail account, look up in the top left of page and you'll see Reader (you already have it if you have gmail). Google Reader allows you to subscribe to changes and updates on a website without actually visiting the site itself. All you have to do is "subscribe" to a website's feed (RSS feed) and from then on, all you have to do to see the latest updates is go to your reader and read them like email. The key is to go down the list of new updates daily and when you see something new and interesting, click "Share it"....this automatically shares your favorite content with everyone who is following you. This is also a great way to increase the importance of a page or a discussion on search engines because the more a piece of content is shared, the more importance it has in the eyes of search engines. Below is a list of feeds that you can add to your reader by simply clicking on the link and when it asks you to subscribe, do so. Create a folder called "LSU" and add the subscribed feeds to that folder for fast and simple reading and sharing. You can do this for virtually any page, group or discussion on LSU, even for individual members. Let me know if you have any trouble with this.
