What is RSS?
RSS (or Really Simple Syndication) feeds are most often from news and blog websites, that contain article headlines, summaries and links.

RSS is an easy way for you to be alerted when content that interests you appears on your favorite websites. Instead of visiting a particular site every day to browse for new articles and features, RSS automatically sends the information to you.

What tools do I need to use RSS?
You need a special news reader or aggregator that displays RSS content feeds from websites you select. There are many different news readers available, many free of charge. Desktop software that you download and install on your computer as well as web-based news readers are available. Some web browsers like Opera and Safari now have built in RSS capabilities.

Once you have set up your news reader, you subscribe to the RSS content feeds you want.
