What is RSS?
There are several definitions but the most popular definition is that RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication'. But, you may ask,
what does 'Really Simple Syndication' mean? It means having information delivered to your computer instead of you having to remember
to go get it. An RSS Reader detects and displays new information whenever it is updated.The Macro Express News and What's New at Insight Software Solutions email newsletters have been available for several years. These newsletters are sent whenever a new version of Macro Express or one of our other products is available. However, more and more often we are hearing from customers who do not receive the newsletter. With the increase in spam, anti-spam filtering programs and services are becoming more aggressive. Many ISPs are now starting to apply spam filters before you even see your email messages. And we are finding that people are changing their email addresses more frequently. The consequence is that many customers no longer receive our email newsletters. As an alternative to the email newsletters we are now offering RSS Feeds for news and information about our products.
