What's an RSS feed? RSS is a method for subscribing to changes made on

your wiki so you can see what has changed more easily. Most web browsers include RSS readers, and generally

show a feed icon somewhere near the address bar (the icon is orange in most browsers, but it's blue in Safari.)

When you click this icon, you'll see a list of available

feeds.

For more information, click RRS feed on the Settings page.

Template You can create a template

page for students. Create the page information

and tag the page template (note the lower case!)

When you go back to Create a Page, scroll down beyond the pbwiki templates to select the radio button beside your template.
