| 36 | Even more so, it's easy to create new RSS feeds to fit a specific need. | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | * The [[Watchlist Feature>>code:Applications.WatchlistApplication]] allows you to get a RSS feed of all the modifications to the pages in your watchlist. | ||
| 39 | * You can also easily create your own page that outputs RSS (Atom, RDF, etc). Edit the Main.WebRss page in your wiki to see how it's implemented and do the same in your own page. |
