What is RSS?

For a quick primer view an RSS QuickStudy.

What does RSS stand for?

We´ve seen the acronym variously described as Rich Site Summary and Really Simple Syndication, among other descriptions. However, the World Wide Web Consortium – the definitive source for Web standards – says it is RDF Site Summary (RDF stands for Resource Description Framework). RSS is an XML-based format for sharing and distributing Web content, such as news headlines. Using an RSS reader, you can view data feeds from various news sources - including headlines, summaries, links to full stories.

What are included in your feeds?

Typically headlines, summaries and links back to full stories.

I'd like a customized feed not available on your site.

It's unlikely we'll be able to customize our feed for individuals or small sites.
