What is RSS?
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an XML-based format for syndicating content. Simply put, it allows you to subscribe to content on dozens of websites and have it delivered directly to you in one place, via your RSS feed reader.
What is a feed reader?
A feed reader provides a consolidated view of the content in a single browser display or desktop application (also referred to as RSS readers, feed aggregators, news readers or search aggregators) To read RSS feeds, you need a software program called a feed reader, also known as a newsreader or an aggregator. There are many readers available in a variety of formats. Some can be accessed using a web browser, others are downloadable applications. All allow you to display and add the RSS feeds you want.
How do I receive RSS feeds?
Most modern web browsers have RSS support built in, including Internet Explorer v7+, Firefox and Safari. Refer to your browser instructions on how to subscribe to a feed.
If you are not using these browsers you need to either install a feed reader on your computer or choose to use one of the web-based feed reader services. Full instructions on how to set up either kind of feed reader can be found on individual feed reader websites. A good place to start looking is the Google RSS directory.
