What is RSS? - XML or RSS Feed Explanation & Options
You may have been seeing those little orange XML or RSS buttons around the Internet. If you were wondering what they are...
It's "the next big thing" -- you can use it to get newsfeeds from CNN or BBC, as well as just about anything else, including news on upcoming movies, DVD releases, your favorite musician's tour updates, etc.
Once you get started, it's like having your favorite parts of the Web come to you. No need to constantly go out and check for updates.
"RSS" means "Really Simple Syndication." So when you subscribe to a site that has an RSS feed, you can keep up-to-date without having to check the site every day or week.
How do you get started? Easy!
Download a free RSS Reader first. This is special software that reads the RSS feeds...
Right-click (control-click for Mac users) on any orange RSS button on a site, blog or news source that interests you. Start by right-clicking on the orange button located on the upper right-hand menu of this page. Then...
Select Copy Shortcut ("Copy Link to Clipboard" for Mac, "Copy Link Location" for Firefox browsers), and paste that URL into your RSS Reader.
And that's it! You're subscribed.
Don't want to download new software?
Left-click on the orange button located on the upper right-hand menu of this page and add the feed to your browser or subscribe through an online service like Google Reader, My Yahoo!, or Windows Live via the "Subscribe" button also located on the upper right-hand menu of this page.
