RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication. RSS feeds are an easy and efficient way to recieve notification when new information is available in a specific area of interest.
RSS feeds save time, allowing users to recieve notification only when new content is available. Web site visitors choose the information they wish to subscribe to and can unsubscribe from any feed at any point.
First you will need an RSS feed reader (also called a news aggregator) there are a number of RSS readers available. A short list is available at www.rss-specifications.com/rss-software.htm
RSS readers are simply programs that display the contents of an RSS feed in an easy to read format.
Once you have an RSS reader you simply click the icon or a link to the RSS feed and paste it into your RSS reader. Some readers will auto detect the presence of an RSS feed on a website and you can optionally choose to subscribe.
