Answer

RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content.

The old way to keep up was to seek information from your favorite web sources. RSS Feed allows you to receive information from your favorite web sources.

Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.

3 easy steps to access RSS:

1) First install an "aggregator" program (RSS reader or web module) on your computer. Search the web to find appropriate software.

2) After aggregator software is installed, choose one or more news, blog or magazine feeds by clicking on the RSS icon.

3) You must then copy the appropriate feed URLs and paste them into the appropriate field of your RSS software. This will allow you to instantly receive your selected RSS feeds that you may view at any time.
