Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an easy way of having the latest Fantasy
Football Times.com RSS newsfeed headlines and links to full-length articles added to your
website (or blog, or desktop).
It has become the standard way for individuals and/or websites to collect and
publish regular updates of web-based content from websites like The Fantasy
Football Times.com. And best of all, it is a FREE distribution service.
Our RSS feed is updated whenever we publish new, free content to our site.
A news reader that you download is used to "subscribe" to our RSS
feed. It then automatically downloads our headline stories at an interval that
you specify (i.e. every 24 hours), and allows you and your users to view, read,
and access expert Fantasy Sports content.
You can also customize the story's info that is displayed on your website (title,
author, description, publish date). All RSS feeds are linked back to our website,
so when a user sees a headline story in the feed that they like, they can click
on the link and will be taken to the Fantasy Football Times.com website to read
it in full.

Here are some very helpful resources on RSS feeds:
Q: What is RSS?
A: RSS, short for "Really Simple Syndication" or
"Rich Site Summary," is a format that allows the Fantasy Football
Times.com to send other websites, blogs or your desktop our updated headlines.
The Fantasy Football Times.com gathers the content you select from our list
of RSS feeds and displays it for you in one convenient location.
Q: Why should I use RSS?
A: Because it's a simple way to receive timely news from the
Fantasy Football Times.com. It's also customizable - that way, you're receiving
headlines from subjects that interest you and you can display it anyway you
want (fonts, colors, etc). And best of all, it's FREE.
Q: What is a news reader?
A: A news reader (also known as a news aggregator) is simply
a piece of software that you can use to read your subscribed news feeds. It
is to news feeds what Outlook, Hotmail, and Entourage are to email.
Q: What is syndication?
A: Syndication refers to the process that occurs when a publisher
provides content in a form that can be consumed by software (like a news reader).
The concept is similar to email: your Raiders-hating friend Tim (the publisher)
writes you an email about Randy Moss' ego creating locker room dissent (the
content). Your email program (the software) receives the email, and probably
alerts you with a "You've got mail!"
With the syndicated Fantasy Football Times.com feed, it works like this: the
Fantasy Football Times.com (the publisher) publishes a story about Tom Brady
becoming a top Fantasy QB (the content). Your news reader (the software) sees
that the Fantasy Football Times.com has published a new story, and automatically
displays the story in the RSS feed on your website (or blog, or desktop).

Fantasy Football Times.com RSS feed?
