What is RSS?
RSS stands for 'Rich Site Summary' and is a standard for updating and distributing website content. RSS is based on XML, a programming format that allows the exchange of text information between different online applications.

RSS allows online users to gather ever-changing content from different website sources such as online news publishers, personal blogs, or information sites and then receive them into one place. Website owners make this possible by providing a 'RSS feed'. By periodically updating the content of the RSS feeds subscribed users can stay a-breast of information and news that matter most to themselves without the need to trawl vast number of websites.

How do I receive RSS?
To receive and update RSS Feed you require a news reader (also known as aggregators). News readers are available online via a web browser or as stand-alone software. Stand-alone applications are available both free and commercially.

You can register with online News Readers much the same as web based email services -Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc with the marked advantage of being accessable from any internect connected computer.

Once you have a news reader the final process is to subscribe to actual RSS feeds. Websites highlight their RSS feeds by displaying an orange RSS button on the web page.

You can subscribe to the RSS feeds on a website by either:
Dragging the orange RSS button into your News Reader
Dragging the URL of the RSS feed into your News Reader
Cutting and paste the URL of the RSS feed into your News Reader
