WP 101 Video What is RSS
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) delivers a summary of content to a live feed. As you update your Country Email List website, it automatically displays in your RSS feed. Your website visitors can subscribe to your RSS feed using an RSS reader. RSS readers compile all feeds to which a person is subscribed. Readers then have the option of reading blog posts in their feed, or visiting each website through the feed’s link.

In your WordPress dashboard, you can assign the number of blog posts that will appear in your RSS feed through the Reader link. And if you want to learn more, checkout our beginners guide to RSS and WordPress!

The Yoast SEO plugin helps you optimize your website to meet search engine optimization (SEO) standards. In the general tab, you can type in a focus keyword to help site crawlers and people know what your blog post is about. The SEO title is suggested based on your focus keyword. If you prefer, you can alter that title. You’ll also want to include a meta description about your post that incorporates your focus keyword. Knowing the basics of this general tab will put you on the right path to optimizing your website for search engines and interested readers.
