What is RSS? And how does it work? |
RSS (Really Simple
Syndication) is the easiest way to aggregate and distribute Web content like
news from your favourite website/s. RSS/XML feeds can update headlines on your
computer software as they change through sections. This is possible because an
RSS reader will aggregate content from your favourite preset channels and post
the same in XML format on your desktop.

What is a RSS reader and where do I get them? |

RSS feed, you will need a feed aggregator, also called an RSS reader installed

Got the picture. But what’s XML? |
'Extensible markup
language', or XML as it is popularly known, splits information (be it content
or images) using markers like 'headlines', 'introductions', 'footnotes', or
just about anything else, making it easier for computers to locate and collate
specific information.
