What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication)

What is RSS?
RSS is an easy way for you to keep updated automatically on websites you like. Instead of you having to go to websites to see if they've written a new article or feature, you can use RSS to get them to tell you every time they have something new.

How can I make use of RSS?
In general, you need to get a program or use a website called a News Reader. This displays RSS information feeds from your chosen websites on your computer.

How do I get a News Reader?
There are a range of different News Readers available. My 2 favorites are NewsGator and Bloglines. These are free website News Readers and don't require installing anything on your computer. But, if you'd like to install something then take a look at some news readers listed in Google's directory.

This is the raw XML for the RSS feed.
RSS 2.0

These just make it easy on some people.
