How is my Toolbar updated?

What is "My RSS"?
RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication.  Websites commonly provide RSS feeds of their content to anyone interested in picking up that feed for their own RSS news aggregator.  When a RSS aggregator, such as the TMA Guild Marketing Toolbar, pulls in the feed, a dynamic real-time connection is made between the originating website and the news aggregator.  Every time the source content is updated or changed on the RSS enabled website, the aggregator is automatically updated within minutes.  This means the TMA Guild Marketing Toolbar provides you with the most current up-to-date marketing news.

Please contact us if you are interested in enabling RSS feeds from (or to) your - or a client's -website.

How do I add items to the RSS feed?
