| RSS |
For your own use, you can subscribe to Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds for
aggregated news and other information. |
To Your
Website |
For the church or ministry webmaster, RSS is a way to feature content on your website that is distributed to
subscribing websites. Your website can, for example, feature content kept up to date by
PlusLine (e.g. devotionals, church ministry news, reports, images,
audio and video presentations, news articles). Adventist News Network
also makes it possible to feature their content on your website -- RSS syndication allows flexibility for web sites to format
ANN headlines to match their site's look and feel. |
| Example |
The Mountain View Adventist Church features RSS feeds. The
Santa Barbara Adventist Church features RSS syndication,
Podcasting and other
Streaming Media technologies. |

Church Connect FAQ page. |
| Podcasting |
The original target was the popular iPod. Any digital audio player or computer with audio-playing software
can play podcasts. Podcasting is an audio or video feed (e.g. MP3, WAV, MPG files) typically using RSS. The process is
simple to setup, and by making audio content available using RSS, podcasters give listeners more control over what they listen
to and when. Many podcasts are available for syndication, which increases the audience. |
