YaleSites allows you to provide a summary of key information from your web site as an RSS feed. You can create links to these feeds within your site or site visitors can subscribe to your feed.

Each site an automatic RSS feed that can be found at yoursite.yale.edu/rss.xml. This feed lists any page that has been checked as Promote to Front Page under Publishing options.
