What is RSS/XML?

RSS Stands for Really simple syndication.

RSS provides a convenient way to syndicate information from a variety of sources, including news stories, updates to a web site or important bulletins. Regardless of the purpose for which the RSS file is being used, by watching this XML file, you can quickly and easily see whenever an update has occurred. Of course, viewing the RSS feed in Internet Explorer and manually reloading the page every few minutes is not the most efficient use of your time, so most people take advantage of some form of client software to read and monitor RSS feeds.

 

There are many different RSS clients available, but here are a selected few that I’ve tested and that you may find useful:
RSSReader
FeedReader
SharpReader
RSS Bandit, which is now an Open Source project you can customize, if you wish.

 
How do I use RSS?

Whenever you see RSS Symbol (Or XML Symbol ), it should link to an RSS feed that you can subscribe to via your RSS client. The basic process is as follows:
1) Copy the URL for the RSS feed you want to your clipboard.
2) Paste it into the “Add Feed…” dialog of the RSS feed reader of your choice.
3) Optionally choose to refresh or continue/discontinue subscribing to the feed.

Please note: it may take up to four hours for the RSS feed to reflect the latest bulletins, although response times are usually much quicker.
