What is RSS?

What is RSS?  RSS stands for Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication. What's an RSS feed reader?  A piece of software that helps you read info from a variety of sites. 

What's the purpose? With an RSS feed reader, you can gather information from any sites you want in order to create your own personal news feed.  It’s simple (I know this from first-hand experience), and you can modify it to suit your interests.  It’s easy to subscribe and unsubscribe, and there’s no spam. You’re in total control.

And why would you want one?  You may not need one and that, of course, is just fine.  If you do, you can save time by having info sent to you automatically rather than looking on all your favorites sites to see what's new.  This includes big sites like the Washington Post to small sites like, well, this one.

RSS is found on many web pages using the RSS icon. It’s normally orange but can come in other colors, too.  

People who have RSS readers installed on their computer, phones or browsers can simply click on the RSS icon and that site's page gets fed into their personal news feed aka RSS reader feed. RSS is an easy way to get updates sent automatically to you from sites that interest you without checking them weekly.
