Hi Glenn,
What type of RSS is about? I remember I was one of guys that asked for this. Well, I was thinking about this:
In an Wordpress, Blogger, or another CMS you can activate a News Feed. Is about a little script accessible from a fixed address, which can return a list with last five or ten (or whatever you set in your control panel) articles from your article database or forum. And can be retrieved entire article (I don't recommend you this because your interest is to have a visit) or only an excerpt of your article which also contain the title of article and a "Read more ..." link.
How we (outsiders) can use this?
1. If is about a person which don't have web site but use Internet for reading all kind of news, then it have a News Feed Reader, Where it can specify the feed address of his favorite tech site(s). News can be received by emails or not (the majority avoid involving their emails).
2. If is about a web master, it will include the link on his website sidebar, having a little corner where your five last news (excerpts from them) appear, driving all interested visitors to your site.
Your RSS Feed engine (from your forum or CMS) must be able to support a massive traffic because all internet FEED READER BOTS will access your feed link.
News Feed links example:
http://moriscanet.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
http://lialorena.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
And if you go there, you will see at right sidebar ("BLOGURILE MELE") excerpts from other sites.
Of course, there are solutions also for static sites (manually created, not dynamically generated). Let me to search for a link which I don't remember right now.
