What Is RSS?
What you need to
know
You
may have been seeing those little orange RSS
or XML
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 go out and check for updates all the time.
"RSS"
means "Really Simple Syndication." What it means to you is that 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...

Once
you're set up, here's all you have to do...
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 below. 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.
Right-click and get started.
