What is RSS?

RSS means "Really Simple Syndication" and it's like turbo-charged bookmarking.

It is an easy way to keep up to date with all the new information on your favourite web-sites.

• A viewer accepts the RSS link from a site.

• All new pages and information that are put on the web-site are released through RSS.

• The viewer's RSS link is informed about the new information immediately.

• The viewer is made aware of the updates, without having to check the web-sites individually and without having to browse through the site to find out if anything is new.

• No e-mail, no spam, just the new information on your favourite sites presented directly to you.

• You receive updates only from the feeds YOU subscribe to.
  You won't get sent a load of content you are not interested in.

Select Copy Shortcut (Copy Link with a Mac) and paste that URL into your RSS Reader. That's all.
