RSS: What The Heck Is It? RSS stands for: Rich Site Summary, or RDF Site Summary, or Really Simple Syndication.

Why is RSS a good thing? The ability to subscribe to content using RSS means that you can easily get content that you want without every having to worry about spam. The content doesn't go to your box, it goes to a news feeder. You can subscribe or unsubscribe to whatever content you want.

Finding RSS Feeds

How do I know if a site is RSS enabled? Usually sites post a little button that says RSS or XML or a link that says "Syndicate this site". Clicking on one of these buttons or links will take you to a page with a lot of ugly text on it. Never mind the text, just copy the URL that appears in the URL window for the page and use that URL to subscribe to the site in your news feed reader.

RSS: A Visual Approach

How do I get started? 1. The first step is to create an account for a free web=based news reader, such as Google Reader, Bloglines, Netvibes, or other feed reader. 2. The next is to copy and paste the RSS URL of a favorite site into your news feed reader where it says to subscribe to a new feed. For example, the RSS URL for SimplyRecipes.com is: 3. Find a few other sites with RSS feeds that interest you and subscribe to them as well. As often as you want, check the news feed reader as you would check to see new content.

News Readers What Is a News Reader? A piece of software or Web application that pulls together RSS feeds from multiple sources into one place making it easy to browse newly posted information from blogs, alert services, and other Web sites i.e. Bloglines, Google Reader, Netvibes

News Readers News Readers are also known as: News aggregators RSS aggregators RSS readers RSS stands for: Rich Site Summary -OR- Really Simple Syndication

News Readers RSS allows you to receive notification of current content without having to visit the web site of interest to determine if it has been updated. Look for orange RSS or XML button to get URL for the blog’s RSS feed Then subscribe to it from your news reader
