What is RSS?

RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication.

RSS makes it possible for you to keep up with all changes and stories on your favourite websites without having to visit each site, because it automatically pushes content to you through a feed that is regularly updated. And what you don't want, you can simply ignore.

What do I need?

First you will need a RSS or feed reader. This is often a downloadable program, but some internet browsers, especially if they are the latest versions, have an RSS reader function built in. This is a tool that collates your preferred information, including text, video and audio, from lots of websites into one page or "feed".

Here are some popular readers you can download if you like:

For Windows: Newz Crawler, Thunderbird
For Mac: Newsfire, Thunderbird
Web-based: Bloglines

Your reader checks your subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds.

How do I do it?

You subscribe to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader, or by clicking the RSS icon of the content you want. The icon appears in the address bar of your browser on sites where feeds are available. Look at your address bar right now and you will see the RSS icon is lit. Clicking it will provide you with a list of RSS feeds.
