By now you've seen any number of web pages with nifty live continually updated listings of news and other information. Ever wonder how they do that? The answer is RSS feeds. Thousands of content providers furnish RSS feeds that you can use for free on your website, on any subject imaginable. You can do a search for news on any subject under the sun on Google or Yahoo news, and turn the result into an RSS feed that is constantly updated. This means that you can actually place Google or Yahoo news right on your webpage and it contains the same content, and is updated as frequently, as the news on Google or Yahoo.

The acronym RSS stands for "Really Simple Sindication" but, before WebLines, it was a complete misnomer. Putting RSS feeds on your website was not so simple. You either had to be an expert programmer, or use some other product requiring you to configure and upload several files to your server. With WebLines, all you have to do is upload one file, and place one line of code on the page where the news is to appear. Weblines is completely configurable but any configuration is optional.

RSS is a universal standard so Weblines can use any properly written RSS feed from any source.
