About that RSS logo...

You will find many variations of the RSS logo across the internet -- different shapes, different colors, with "RSS" or "XML" -- but they all tell you the same thing: RSS technology powers the website with the publisher's news. RSS gives people the way to be notified whenever new information is posted on the website as selected by the website publisher, so they don 't have to hunt across the site looking for updates, or for that matter, even remember to check back at the website.

Site visitors take advantage of RSS by subscribing to feeds, better yet, by registering for email alerts call "pings" to be rapidly notified by email when items are posted.

Website publishers use Enfeedia as their one-stop RSS feed publishing system because of its ease of use— and feature set. If you publish a website, sign up for an account and begin publishing your news directly on your site. Site visitors will appreciate you providing a simple means for them to be kept informed. It's the perfect way to establish customer loyalty!

RSS Icons used by Enfeedia

In addition to the industry standard icon, Enfeedia supports a number of other icons (aka buttons) that incorporate the basic icon along with a "descriptor extension" to describe the specific function of that icon. Here's the complete list:

rss news feed xml file This industry standard icon for RSS feeds indicates that the link is the RSS compliant XML file. Clicking this icon will display the feed in RSS-capable browsers and reveal the feed file URL in the browser address bar. That address can be used with any RSS compliant "feed reader" to subscribe to the feed with that service. Where otherwise ambiguous, this icon will be followed by the feed name, e.g., rss news feed xml fileMyNewsletter

rss news feed xml file This icon is the equivalent to the rss news feed xml file standard. The descriptor extension is included for cases where the "RSS/XML" descriptor is thought to be helpful to the site visitor and to be consistent in style with other RSS icons that includes a word extension.

enfeedia rss news feed reader This round variation of the industry standard square icon, when clicked, causes the feed to be read by a specific implementation-dependent feed reader. In the case of Enfeedia, it invokes Enfeedia's "NewsPage" reader. The Newspage not only displays the full feed but also provides a number of tools for subscribing to the feed, setting up alerts for the feed, and sharing the feed either as a complete feed or on an item by item basis, etc.. Where otherwise ambiguous, this icon will be followed by the feed name as described above.

enfeedia rss news feed reader This icon is the equivalent to enfeedia rss news feed reader. The descriptor extension is included for cases where the "Read" descriptor is thought to be helpful to the site visitor and to be consistent in style with other RSS icons that includes a word extension. Where otherwise ambiguous, this icon will be followed by the feed name as described above.

rss feed alerts

This icon, when clicked, opens a page that provides the means to register (or un-register) for automatically generated email alerts that notify one when items are posted on the feed. Where otherwise ambiguous, this icon will be followed by the feed name as described above.

how to subscribe to rss feeds This icon, when clicked, opens a page that describes how to subscribe to the feed using popular feed readers/aggregators. Where otherwise ambiguous, this icon will be followed by the feed name as described above.
