What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a standardized format used to publish and share Web site content. Updates to the site are broadcast to subscribers through the RSS feed.
How do I view RSS feeds?
In order to receive feeds, you must have an aggregator, otherwise called a feed reader. There are several types of feed readers:
- Web-browsers - the latest version of most web-browsers have feed readers built in, or available as a plug-in.
- Web-based feed readers - usually involves creating an account and then subscribing to all your favorite sites and blogs that provide RSS feeds.
- Stand-alone feed readers - these can be downloaded from the web and installed on your computer.
