RSS is an open XML standard for syndicating Web content. RSS stands for Rich Site Summary and Really Simple Syndication, and it’s been a standard part of the Web for years. RSS benefits both publishers and readers by providing a simple open standard that makes it easy to create newsfeeds, and easy to subscribe to them. If you’re not accustomed to using an RSS reader you might give it a try, because it delivers articles to your RSS newsreader so you won’t miss important news.
