What is RSS?

RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary.” RSS feeds are an easy way to keep up with new posts to your favorite websites. RSS provides information updates (usually new headlines or stories) from a website in XML, a machine-readable format. The RSS feed is free.
