All about RSS feeds
What is an RSS feed?
RSS (or Really Simple Syndication) allows websites to announce
new content as it is published. By subscribing to an RSS feed you
can catch up with regularly updated web pages automatically.
Instead of having to visit a site daily to see what's changed,
your web browser can be notified when new pages are published and
can display them as a list.
How does it work?
The RSS feed is a list of all the most recent pages, in a
computer-readable format. The website will update the list with new
pages as they appear, and your RSS reader will pick up on this and
offer the new page to you, usually as part of a list.
How to use RSS on your pc?
The easiest way to use RSS is through your web browser. Not all
browsers support feeds, so you may need to upgrade or switch
browsers.
You can also use dedicated software called a feed aggregator and
subscribe to all your favourite websites in one place. Some
websites offer online feed collection, such as Google Reader at
