How to Increase Repeat Website Traffic with a Church RSS Feed Reader

Keeping the contents of your website fresh is one way to ensure that your visitors return to your site frequently. One of the best ways to update content with little or no effort on your part is to include a News Feed from your denomination’s news service, or from another faith-based resource such as FaithStreams.com.

What is RSS?

RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication, and is the common term used for content designed to be used in a news feed. The only difficulty with RSS is that it can be difficult to set up for church webmasters' whose content management systems does not have modules to add them to the website. Those churches would then need specialized programmers to work the RSS feeds into the site.

That is fine if you have a large budget or dedicated programmers with time on their hands, but what does the medium-to-small church do?
