What is RSS and how can I use it?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a technology that allows content to be easily syndicated and aggregated.

What does that mean? Well, you probably have a certain set of web sites that you visit frequently to see what is new. What is really cool about RSS is that you can see the headlines for all of those sites in one list without having to visit each individual web site. All you have to do is subscribe once to the RSS feeds for those web sites (if available) and the RSS reader will thereafter collect all of the headlines automatically. All of the information is presented to you in one place!

Where can I get an RSS news reader?

How do I subscribe to an RSS feed?

When you visit web sites, look for the orange feed logo or a link to the RSS feeds for that site. By clicking the right-most button on your mouse (Windows) or clicking with the Ctrl button pressed (Mac), a menu will pop-up. Select the "copy link to..." menu item. Then start up your news reader, select Subscribe, and paste the link into the URL text box. That's it!
