What Is RSS?To get the latest Web pages and updates from this site, simply click on any orange RSS button. If you're unfamiliar with this icon, just take a look around - they are all over the Web. You can get newsfeeds from CNN and BBC, and a lot more via RSS. For example, new movie releases and musical shows are also announced in this way. The acronym makes the technology sound complicated, but it’s not. RSS merely stands for "Really Simple Syndication", a risk and hassle-free way of getting regular updates of Websites you like, or wish to follow. RSS is no more than a web feed format used to publish frequently updated content or pages like news, blog posts, audio or video files – all this in standard format. RSS documents or "web feeds" can be summaries or full versions, and contain author and publication details. Each time I create a new page or revise an older one, it’s released via RSS. I also dispatch resource posts and articles this manner. In short, if you choose to subscribe via RSS, you will receive spam-free content automatically, and at no risk. (Unsubscribing is just as easy.) Through RSS, you can get your favorite or selected parts of the Web sent to you. You don’t even need to bookmark those pages.
