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. |
