Reading RSS feeds can be a great time-saver by allowing users to scan headlines from their favorite websites collected in one place rather than visiting each site individually. RSS works by using tags to tell aggregators how to display feeds of information from websites in an easily readable format. While convenient, reading feeds through an aggregator is not as seamless as viewing them directly in a browser, and may require a paid subscription.

1. How RSS Works

2. 1. Introduction to How RSS Works
The trouble with living in the Information Age is
paradoxical: There's too much information.
If you're addicted to the constant flow of data that we
know as the Internet, you're not going to be able to
manage it without some help.
Some Web-browsing software automatically detects
RSS feeds.
Once you learn how to use news feeds, you'll save
time by scanning headlines from your favorite sites.

3. 2. RSS Reader
Reading RSS feeds can be a great time-saver.
In the time it takes you to scan whole Web pages for
information, you can review headlines from dozens of
sites all collected in one place.
Whether you read at home or at work, you'll be
receiving the same information.
It's not as convenient as reading feeds right in your
browser, and there may be a cost involved.

4. 3. Creating RSS Feeds
RSS isn't really that different from a normal Web site.
Like HTML, RSS is a standard that can be read by a
variety of Web browsers and aggregators that display
the feeds so they can be scanned easily.
RSS tags tell your aggregator how to display the feed
on your screen.
You can do this, too, though it will involve learning
how to write a programming language.
