What are RSS Feeds?

RSS ( Really Simple Syndication) feeds offer you another way to get headlines and summaries in one place from many of your favourite websites. Headlines can be read when you’re ready. You don’t have to go to each web site individually.  RSS feeds require RSS Readers to display these headlines. Without a RSS Reader you will see XML coding on your browser.
