How to update other websites by RSS


HOW DO I UPDATE MY OTHER WEBSITES BY RSS?

UPDATE YOUR NEWS AUTOMATICALLY - SAVE TIME

RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication.. it enables other websites to grab your OVERTONE content and to automatically add it to their pages.

This can save you masses of time and effort.. so set it up and then you will only have to add your content once on Overtone and still have it automatically added to all your other websites.

(Your basic RSS links are located on the left if you are signed in)

 

Overtone RSS works in a number of ways..

RSS for TWITTER and FACEBOOK

Publish all your Overtone Updates to Facebook and Twitter using http://twitterfeed.com/

Simply create an account and add your RSS Feeds for automatic publishing.

CUSTOM CONTENT FEEDS - KEYWORD FEEDS

You can also create and manage custom feeds that are associated with keywords that you add to your content.

This is one of the most powerfull features of OVERTONE.

An example of this would be for events.. you can create an RSS feed of all events that happen for your BAND or for a partcular VENUE by grabbing the feed for that KEYWORD..You could also create a feed of larger keywords like ROCK, or MUSIC  etc.

Find a listed Keyword.. or add a keyword to your content as you create it and this will automattically be associated with that feed .

To find the correct RSS feed links for that keyword simply click the keyword to see all the listings that have been associated with it.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and then click the RSS link icon .. this will take you to that particular feed..

 

To ADD RSS to your site simply search for info abbout RSS and see that your site accepts it.

The following sites accept RSS already:

FACEBOOK

TWITTER

WORDPRESS

DRUPAL

JOOMLA

 

and many more.. you can even have RSS link to email notifications and other applications and widgets.  so start googling and get it on your site..
