How to use your RSS feed
Your feed will automatically update every time you post new content to a Blog, Updates, or Other Writing page or an upcoming event to the Events page on your website.
Keeping readers updated
Your fans can add your feed to an RSS reader app, which automatically collects new posts from all the blogs they follow in one place. This makes it easy for them to stay up-to-date on your latest news without having to remember to visit your website directly to check for new posts.
Sharing content on other platforms
You can also use your RSS feed to automatically distribute your content to other platforms, including social media pages or other content aggregators. If you use a social media scheduler or other automation tools to manage your marketing content, check their documentation to see how you can use your website’s RSS feed to share your content.
