What is RSS?
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a format designed for sharing web content such as headlines. An RSS feed highlights fresh material for you, so you don't have to repeatedly check a site yourself for updates.
How do I use RSS?
RSS is written in XML (Extensible Markup Language), similar to html. To make use of RSS, you'll need an RSS reader, or aggregator. An RSS aggregator can be a stand-alone application,
or a plug-in for another program you already use, such as Microsoft Outlook. Some web browsers, such as Internet Explorer 7, Firefox and
Safari RSS, have RSS readers built in.
