What are RSS/Feeds ?
Using RSS feeds (RSS stands for ‘Really Simple Syndication’), you can pull together all the latest posts from your favourite websites into one place – where they’ll update automatically any time something new is published. Other ways to receive RSS feeds There are several ways of following RSS feeds, but the technology is moving forwards and adapting very quickly. The main method is to use a program called a ‘News Reader’. You can then set up this program to receive RSS information from whatever websites you wish that offer it, and browse headlines and story summaries that link through to the full story on the website. There are several News Reader programs available for all platforms, many of which are free. See a list here. There are also several excellent web-based news readers – which means you can view your feeds on any computer. The most widely used are probably Google Reader and Bloglines.
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds are a way to have website content sent directly to your computer, enabling you to “subscribe” to multiple sites at one time, receiving updates similarly to how you receive email. You may click the RSS link on any page to copy the code required to regularly add any new content as it is posted, making it available to via your RSS reader software.
