Here are answers to some common questions about using feeds (RSS).
What is a feed?
A feed, also known as RSS feed, XML feed, syndicated content, or web feed, is a vehicle providing the automatic transfer of selected information from a website—such as http://www.cnumc.org—to your email or Internet browser. As the website’s content is updated, the new information goes into the feed, for you to access without having to visit the website itself.

As the website’s content is updated, the new information goes into the feed, for you to access without having to visit the website itself.
For example: as new stories are added to the Instant Connection—the News page on http://www.cnumc.org—they automatically populate the California-Nevada Instant Connection RSS feed. By subscribing to this feed you can read those stories just by clicking a button on your browser or Outlook. You can even set it up so that you’re notified whenever something new has been added. No more going to the website to see what’s new, and no more waiting for a weekly email!
How does a feed differ from a website?
A feed can have the same content as a webpage, but it's often formatted differently. In the case of the CA-NV Instant Connection feed, the feed duplicates the format of the Instant Connection email that many of you receive each week: it shows a portion of the first paragraph of each story, along with a link that you may click to read the complete version.
