Campus Dakota: Bringing you news from across two states

March 31, 2008 by Sal Atticum

Campus Dakota has just initiated a new feature, the Student Blogs and News!

Student Blogs and News utilizes RSS feeds from various student and related blogs we've managed to track down. "RSS," if you don't know, stands for "Really Simple Syndication." What this means is that when a blog or other RSS-enabled website is updated, a new file is created that has a short summary--the RSS "feed". Programs that read RSS feeds check them on a set schedule and let you (the user) know when something new has been posted--meaning that you don't have to surf through all of the blogs you read eight times a day (although this is a great way to procrastinate).
