What are RSS Feeds?
RSS is a quick & easy way for you to browse the headlines from your favorite websites. The RSS format is used to publish frequently-updated sites such as blogs, news, and event calendars. A standardized XML file format allows the website to publish the information in a data-only form, so many different programs can read the information.
You can learn more about RSS feeds from the Wikipedia page about RSS.
