What is RSS?
RSS (or Really Simple Syndication) feeds are free content feeds from Web sites that contain article headlines, summaries and links
back to full-text articles on the web.
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a format for easy distribution of news and information.
You may use these feeds on personal or non-commercial sites provided that you do not publish the full text of our articles. You must also indicate that the feed is from "Orlando JUG" either in text or by use of the logo image included in the RSS feed.

What are the benefits of using RSS?
RSS is an easy way for you to be alerted when content that interests you appears on your favorite Web sites. Instead of visiting a particular Web site to browse for new articles and features, RSS automatically tells you when something new is posted online.
|
What tools do I need to use RSS?
To start using RSS, you need a special news reader or aggregator that displays RSS content feeds from Web sites you select. There are many different news readers available, many of which are free of charge. Most are available as desktop software that you download and install on your computer. Several Web-based news readers are available as well. My Yahoo! now offers a section for displaying RSS feeds and there are extensions (plug-ins) available for the Mozilla Firefox browser as well.
