.RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, they are basically XML files.
This sounds a bit scary but you can use various RSS readers were you just copy and
paste the rss feed link into it. The one i use is
RRS reader .
What does RSS let you do ? It lets you get headlines delivered from a feed directly to your computer without even visiting the web page and then when you have found an article you are interested in, you can get more info from the site. This allows seeing lots of site content all from one place easily and only visiting site content of interest.It also allows keeping up to date real easy too, in rss reader the headlines popup when new ones are released, so you can see new headlines without distrubting what you are doing. Many people also use RSS readers for reading Weblogs or Blogs.
