That's really all it
is. If you want to read more about it, here's a link to Wikipedia's
page on the subject.
All
you do is code a RSS feed display into your webpage, copy the RSS feed
URL, and paste it into your RSS display in the proper place in the
code. Once you've done that, the feed, you've chosen will be displayed
right on your website. You don't even have to update it. The host of
the feed does that for you. It's a pretty lazy and effective way to get
some interesting content for your site.
The
scrolling window at the top of the page is an example of an RSS
display. As a matter of fact, it's displaying items from OUR OWN
Paranormal RSS feed.

RSS Displays
There
are all sorts of RSS feed displays available to webmasters all over the
Internet. Honestly, there are too many for me to even go into, but to
give you an idea, they come in all shapes and styles, and with
different features.
Many
of them are also very customizable. You see the one at the top of the
page? Take a look at it, and then take a look at the one on our front page. It's the EXACT same display. I've
just coded it to make it look a little different.
The
bottom line is that they can be customized to fit any website you may
be working on. To help you out, here's a link to a page on one of my
favorite coding sites. On that page, you will find a list of a few RSS
displays for you to look over to see if you like them.
Here's the LINK, and I hope it helps. Oh, and if
you're wondering, the one we've been using on this page is called "gAjax
RSS Pausing Scroller".
Our Paranormal RSS Feed
At The Beyond, we have 2 RSS feeds. One is for our Articles &
Editorials based on all aspects of the paranormal and unexplained. The
other is for our News & Press releases for OTHER sites and
organizations who have some news that they want to get out to everyone.
If you wish to display our content, just plug one or both of the URL's
below into your RSS Display.

Lastly, if you DO decide to use our RSS Feeds, PLEASE contact me and
let me know where you're using it, so I can take a look. I think it
would be kinda fun to make a list of the sites using it and link to
them right here.
I
can be reached on our message board, on my MySpace
page,
or at BeyonderBill@yahoo.com.
I
hope this page was helpful!
