RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication".

Page 4: What Is  R S S?

It is a way to easily distribute a list f h dli d t ti dof headlines, update notices, and sometimes content to a wide 

number of people

Page 5: What Is  R S S?

It is used by computer programs y p p gthat organize those headlines and 

notices for easy readingnotices for easy reading.

Wh t bl d RSS l ?What problem does RSS solve?

Page 7: What Is  R S S?

Most people are interested in many websites whose content changes on 

an unpredictable schedulean unpredictable schedule.

Page 8: What Is  R S S?

Examples of such websites are news it it d li isites, community and religious 

organization information pages, g p gproduct information pages, medical 

websites and weblogswebsites, and weblogs.

Page 9: What Is  R S S?

Email notification of changes was an early l h bl f l hsolution to this problem. Unfortunately, when 

you receive email notifications from multiple b h ll d d dwebsites they are usually disorganized and can get overwhelming, and are often 

k fmistaken for spam. 

Page 10: What Is  R S S?

RSS is a better way to be notified of new and changed content. Notifications of changes to multiple websites are handled easily, and the results are presented to you well organized 

and distinct from email.

website in a standard waywebsite in a standard way.

Page 13: What Is  R S S?

Thi li t f tifi ti i ll dThis list of notifications is called an "RSS Feed".

Page 14: What Is  R S S?

People who are interested in finding out the l t t h dli h h k thi li tlatest headlines or changes can check this list. 

Special computer programs called "RSS t " h b d l d th t"RSS aggregators" have been developed that 

automatically access the RSS feeds of b it b t b h lf dwebsites you care about on your behalf and 

organize the results for you.

Page 15: What Is  R S S?

RSS feeds and aggregators are also sometimes calledsometimes called "RSS Channels" 

and "RSS Readers".

H d I fi d t if b it hHow do I find out if a website has an RSS feed?

Page 21: What Is  R S S?

It is getting more and more common for websites to g ghave RSS feeds. They usually indicate the existence of the feed on the home page or main news page with a link to "RSS", or sometimes by displaying an orange button with the letters "XML" or "RSS". 

Page 22: What Is  R S S?

RSS feeds are also often found via a "Syndicate This" li k T t "RSS" li k ti (th l t flink. Text "RSS" links sometimes (there are lots of variations) point to a web page explaining the 

nature of the RSS feeds provided and how to findnature of the RSS feeds provided and how to find them. The buttons are often linked directly to the 

RSS feed file itself.
