What is RSS ?
You may have been seeing those little orange RSS
or XML buttons around the Internet.
If you were wondering what they are...
It's "the next big thing" -- you can use it to get newsfeeds from CNN
or BBC,
as well as just about anything else,
including news on upcoming movies, DVD releases, your favorite musician's
tour updates, etc.
Once you get started, it's like having your favorite parts of the Web
come to you.
No need to go out and check for updates all the time.
"RSS" means "Really Simple Syndication."
What it means to you is that when you subscribe to a site that has an
RSS feed,
you can keep up-to-date without having to check the site every
day or week.
How do you get started?
Easy!
Download a free RSS Reader first. This is special software that
reads the RSS feeds...
Windows -- RssReader
http://www.rssreader.com/
Mac -- NetNewsWire
http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/
Once you're set up, here's all you have to do...
Right-click (control-click for Mac users) on any orange
RSS button on a site, blog or news source that interests you.
Start by right-clicking on the orange button below.
Then...
![]()
Right-click and get started.

Select
and paste that URL into your RSS Reader.
And that's it! You're subscribed.
