The RSS Feed

RSS - "Really Simple Syndication". What is this? Have a look on wikipedia.

This feed allows users to subscribe to your schedule with things like Google Reader, and other RSS readers. You can also find widgets on facebook and myspace that will display RSS feeds on your pages.

  1. Log in to Bill's Gigulator.
  2. From the menu, go to "Setup" then "My Site Settings"
  3. Scroll down to "Feeds"
  4. Enable Rss Feed for "Shows" by clicking the checkbox.

The url's for the feeds are listed below the rss options and also on the help page.
