RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication” and is a way to follow changes made to web pages.  It’s especially helpful to follow web pages that change regularly with new news articles, including the Prairienet homepage and the Community Technology Forum represent.  Unfortunately, the little orange or blue RSS icon found on many web browsers for the various Prairienet pages is not working just now.  We hope to fix this shortly and apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.
