RSS: Really Simple Syndication 
What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS is a way for you to get a quick list of the latest story headlines from all your favorite websites and blogs all in one place. You no longer need to visit your favorite sites every day to see what’s new…the updates come to you in one place!
How do I use RSS?
If you find a website that has an RSS feed, you can subscribe to that feed using an RSS Reader. There are many RSS readers available. Most RSS Readers are hosted online as websites, but some are applications that you download and install on your computer. If you prefer to have the convenience of having your website feeds everywhere you go, using an online feed reader is your best choice.
Once you are subscribed to a website feed the website updates come to you in your RSS Reader. As a website publishes new content, you RSS Reader will display that content.
How do I find an RSS feed on a website?
When browsing a website:
- Look for and RSS link or button
- Look for an XML link or button
- Look for an RSS icon
Click on one of those links. The link will either take you directly to the feed or to a list of possible feeds.
