What are RSS feeds?
An RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed offers an alternative way of browsing new content in a single location. Most readers are free and can include multiple RSS feeds into a single platform, giving a custom way for you to read and review new information and news sources. To be able to utilize a feed, which many sites make available for free to readers by default, you’ll need something called an RSS reader. The reader will show a title and brief synopsis of each article on that feed, usually updated on a 15 minute cycle. Chances are, your smartphone already has a reader built in (for Android, they’re in widgets) but there are plenty of apps for both Android and Apple devices. Almost all standard web browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari) have simple RSS feeders built into the application. There are also RSS PC/Mac stand-alone applications and widgets available for your site (Wordpress, Tumbler, etc).
How do I get an RSS feed?
Once you've picked the application/platform that will be your RSS reader, you'll need at least one RSS feed. Look for the RSS icons (like ICON) on your favorite sites, which will indicate the presence of an RSS feed. Copy that feed into your RSS reader, and that should be all you need to do for setup.
