 RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication"
(or) “Rich Site Summary”.
 It is a way to easily distribute a list of
headlines, update notices, and sometimes
content to a wide number of people.
 . It used to organize those headlines and
notices for easy reading.
 Its used to keep track of their favorite
websites.

3.
 RSS works by having the website author
maintain a list of notifications on their
website in a standard way. This list of
notifications is called an "RSS Feed".
 People who are interested in finding out the
latest headlines or changes can check this
list.
 (RSS feeds are also sometimes called "RSS
Channels" and "RSS Readers".)

website visitors.

There are two places for RSs Feeds:-
 On the Site
 In Your Browser

9.
 Over the last few years you may have noticed
a lot of little buttons and widgets appearing
on your favorite sites and blogs. Little orange
buttons, „counters‟ with how many „readers
a blog has, links called RSS, XML, ATOM and
many more.
 They come in all shapes and sizes. Here are a
few you might have seen:

10.
 Many internet browsers now have the ability
to find and subscribe to RSS feeds built right
into them.
 When you surf to a site you can usually tell if
it has an RSS feed by looking in the right
hand side of address bar where you type in
the site‟s URL.
 Here‟s Firefox:how it looks for ProBlogger
when you‟re using

11.
 Using Safari Browser it is a blue RSS icon:
Other modern browsers will have similar
icons.

 RSS feeds provide any user of the Web with a
way of easily storing and finding their
favorite websites and blogs, making
bookmarking much easier and totally web-
based. By using an RSS reader, everything you
store is web-based and can be opened from
any computer.

13.
 Open a free account with any one of a
number of RSS feed burners or readers, such
as Google Reader, iGoogle, Pageflakes,
Netvibes and more. These tools, once you've
created them, will store your favorite
websites and blogs and constantly update
them for you. They also help you to organize
yours feeds by tags, titles or categories.

14.
 Begin to organize your feed reader. Google
will prompt you by asking what categories
you are interested in, and by suggesting
websites you might like. This is helpful to
anyone who wants to see what else is
available, let's say, in the education category
or the politics category. There are many
blogs and websites, for example, that Google
might suggest to you as a feed in your
particular area of interest.

15.
 You can also be proactive in "subscribing" to a
website feed. For example, if you're an avid
reader of a newspaper website, look for the
orange RSS feed button now available on
most websites and blogs. Simply click on that
button and you will be provided with the
chance to subscribe to the feed. The link will
most likely take you to a choice of readers,
and many -- including iGoogle and Google
Reader -- are listed. Once you choose, you
will receive that site's feed and all its
updates.

16.
 Remember to go in to your feed reader often
and use it as a place to do your reading.
Many people who sign up for feeds make
their RSS page the first thing that opens
when they sign on to the Internet. With
iGoogle, you can organize your categories
with the use of "tabs" provided by iGoogle on
its feeds page. For example, you can create
a "politics" tab, a "to do" tab, a "news" tab,
and so on. iGoogle also makes suggestions for
feeds from its widgets, including clocks,
maps and games.
