What is RSS?
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication." It allows visitors to a Web site to subscribe to pages that feature "feeds" (such as newsfeeds). Signing up for feeds permits you to later receive new content from those pages without having to visit the Web site itself. RSS lets you view this new content together in a simple, ad-free list, so you can quickly find all the articles that interest you from across the Web.
How do I use RSS?
RSS requires a newsreader, which is software that checks your subscribed RSS feeds and compiles any new articles that have been added. RSS newsreaders are now integrated into the latest versions of popular browsers such as
Internet Explorer,
Firefox, and
Safari, but can also be used as stand-alone software, either online or downloaded onto your computer. Each have their own styles and features. Browser-based newsreaders let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications let you store them on your main computer, in the same way that you either download your e-mail using a desktop-based software such as Outlook or Eudora, or keep it on a Web-based service such as Hotmail or Gmail.
Each newsreader will determine how you can subscribe to a RSS feed. For instance, with Internet Explorer, the RSS button
will change colour when a RSS feed is detected on any page. Clicking on the button will tell you which feeds are available, which you can then select. To learn more about subscribing, visit the Help section in your chosen software.
