RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a web content syndication format that enables you to have information delivered directly to your desktop using a news feed reader (also referred to as an aggregator). Each feed that you subscribe to is updated every time a site updates their content. This keeps you informed without having to browse each individual site. Our favorite RSS reader is Google Reader, but you can also use most popular web browsers or email clients to also monitor RSS feeds for you. On Tastefully Driven, all forums and topics have buttons like the ones below that enable you to access the RSS feed for that forum or topic.
