What is RSS?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is basically a ‘news feed’ that you subscribe to.

RSS technology is being used by millions of users to stay updated on their favorite sites. This technology provides you with a simple method of receiving up to date info delivered to your RSS Reader.

Set up an RSS Reader:

Sign up to a reader through sites such as Google Reader, Bloglines, MyGoogle, MyMSN, etc. Once signed up, you are ready to ‘subscribe’ to site feeds.

Look for RSS, the orange RSS button , RSS Blue in Safari, links called XML, ATOM and many more. You can find them on the site, in your browser, beneath posts, etc. The readers work like email. Your unread feeds will be in bold and can be read right through the reader. You can go to the actual site or move on to the next.

From now on, you can go to your reader and check all your subscriptions for the latest updates!
