RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, which is a format used for syndicating online content, such as news, blogs, and other information
. It allows users to keep up with news and information that's important to them, helping them avoid conventional methods of browsing or searching for information on websites
. RSS feeds are written in the Internet coding language XML (eXtensible Markup Language)
. To use RSS, you need an RSS reader, also known as an aggregator
. These software programs collect and display RSS feeds, allowing you to scan headlines from various news sources in a central location
. Some browsers, such as Firefox and Safari, have built-in RSS readers, while others are available on the web, both free and paid
. To access an RSS feed with your reader, you can either click on the link or small XML button near the feed you want or copy the URL from the web browser's address bar
. The content will then be delivered directly to you without cluttering your inbox with emails
