Web Feed (Podcast) Folder
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

A Web Feed folder is used to contain any resources that you wish to be able to subscribe to. For example, you may create a podcast mp3 file, which you can then put into a Web Feed folder. Subscribing to a Web Feed will set up the user's computer ready to either automatically download or create a link to any new/updated content. For more information about Web Feeds, click here
