Well I looked all over the main page, and I didn't find anything. Maybe this site doesn't have one. I know some sites don't, if you don't see the RSS feed link.

Too find them all you go is find the little rss symbol and click it. Well that's all I do! :razz:

What does RSS even do? :neutral: I never understood. I just press the cool orange button and see what happens.

if you hit "subscribe to rss feed", then it automatically signs u up. now whenever tns updates its home page, then you get the message on your rss channel

well I have rainmeter. It's an application, and it has a rss feed. For this purpose it shows new news or updates on your computer. If you don't have this I think it informs you somehow on the internet. Not sure on that way though...

The TNS toolbar has a place for it, but it automatically updates.
I have an RSS reader application on my ipod... and i need to figure out the feed link.

Really Simple Syndication [RSS] is mainly used as a news feeds that checks for updates once and a while, I use Outlook 2007 for RSS linked to the Sum 41 main site.

The RSS feed on the front page is used for the updating of news, for those that don't what I'm talking about click and see

Yes, that is true but the idea of RSS is not for one feed at time, people can have say 15 feeds, all will update every 4 hours I believe the recommended time is but don't hold me to that.

So instead of visiting 15 different pages and seeing there is nothing you I could go open my Outlook [as that's m RSS program] and go "Hmm TheresNoSolution has no updates, but sum41.com has so I'll check there first" but most news sites have them, like BBC.co.uk, I believe Digg.com has one.

Get what I mean, the reason I don't have a feed for TNS is cause I visit the homepage almost daily. But I only visit sum41.com if there is an update.
