RSS Feeds

What is RSS

RSS (most commonly translated as "Really Simple Syndication" but sometimes "Rich Site Summary") is a simple XML-based standard format for distributing and gathering content from Web sites. RSS allows users of frequently updated sites to know when those sites have been updated without having to actually visit the site.

How to Use RSS Feeds

To view RSS feeds, you will need a news reader or aggregator. These are available as desktop software applications or through Web-based services. Many are available at no cost.
