What is the difference between RSS and URL sources and when should I use them?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds and URL sources serve different purposes in content management:
1. RSS Feeds:
- These are files that provide a list of updates from an entire website or specific sections of a website.
- Users can receive auto-updates, whenever a new content is published in any of the blog pages/sub-pages of a website with this RSS feed.
- Use RSS feeds when you want to stay updated on the latest content from multiple sources without visiting each website individually.
2. URL Sources:
- These are sources that redirect to specific webpages or online content, giving direct access to resources.
- Use URL sources when you need to share a particular webpage or content with your audience, such as linking to an article, blog post, or product page.
To sum up, RSS feeds are ideal for staying updated on content from multiple sources, while URL sources are used to directly access and share specific webpages or online content.
