What is RSS, you ask?
When you see these little buttons on a web site, you are seeing a graphical link to a special file called an RSS file, that allows you to subscribe to the newest content offered by the website.
RSS is an acronym for Rich Site Summary, or Really Simple Syndication (I prefer the second one, although sometimes RSS is not that simple!
To use an RSS feed, you must have an RSS reader. Many browsers have this option built in, although Internet Explorer does not (but I “think” it is included in the next release, Version 7, and I know it is included in Windows Vista, Microsoft’s next Windows release). You might try a browser like Mozilla Firefox or Opera (and if you do, you might never go back to IE). If you are hooked on your IE, you can use services like Bloglines, or Feedburner or you can even put it on your home page at My Yahoo.
Give RSS a try, you won’t be disappointed. If you have any questions about it, please feel free to email me at , and I will do my best to help you get your feed going!!
