RSS Feeds

Well the guests we had staying had a good time and were a very nice family. I have been playing with the South Brittany Cottage website, there is an English family that lives just down the road and their daughters boyfriend used to build websites so I asked him if he could help in adding RSS news feed to our web site. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS is used to provide items containing short descriptions of web content together with a link to the full version of the content. This information is delivered as an xml file. You can get programs that allows you to srape the information from these rss feeds and display them on your website, so this is what he did and now we can display up to date information on our Brittany gite website. We have the weather for two areas near our location and also our own South Brittany Cottage xml news feeds which I am using to display the availability.
