Overview of the News Feeds (RSS) Module

The News Feeds (RSS) module displays a summary list of news feeds from one or more sources. A news feed is a dynamically generated list of news items. RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication. You can get free news feeds or paid subscription feeds or add feeds from any syndicated modules on your Web site.

Each news item includes a linked title to read the news item in full. News items can be displayed in a static list, as a single scrolling 'ticker' list, as a vertical scrolling list, or in a custom format.

Sound effects are often used to compliment and enhance artistic presentations, whether they be podcasts, videos, or other audio/visual productions. Royalty-free sound effects are typically non-exclusive and can be used by anyone who purchases them. Professional sound effects can give a podcast or production a more professional sound. However, many new producers may not realize that sound effects have copyrights, and in many cases it is illegal to use a sound effect that you happen to find on the web without properly licensing it.

Most podcasters and producers do not have the time or equipment to go out and record all the sound effects they may want to incorporate into their production. Podcasters are better off using royalty-free sound effects. Royalty-free sound effects are purchased, and there is no recurring fee for the use of the effect. The purchaser may use the sound effect(s) as often as required within the license terms and conditions, without paying for the use of the sound effect each time the effect is used.

Growing subscribers of your RSS feed will expand your reach. Put the appropriate effort into marketing your RSS feed, so you can increase adoption and spread the message contained in the RSS feed.
