http://www.webopedia.com/\n\n \nShort for RDF Site Summary or Rich Site Summary, an XML format for syndicating Web content. A Web site that wants to allow other sites to publish some of its content creates an RSS document and registers the document with an RSS publisher. A user that can read RSS-distributed content can use the content on a different site. Syndicated content includes such data as news feeds, events listings, news stories, headlines, project updates, excerpts from discussion forums or even corporate information. \nRSS was originally developed by Netscape.

Most blogging software provide RSS capability. How to turn it on depends on the blogging SW in use. For your web site, you need to either create it manually or write a small code in PHP or Java to do it automatically for you.

RSS is short for Really Simple Syndication, a method devised to "push" or drive content you're interested in receiving to you, instead of you going to the content and retrieving it. An RSS feed is that content.\n\nYou've probably noticed more and more websites with "RSS" displayed on them.  That means that part or all of that site can be delivered to you via RSS.  Generally you click on it to find what content is available, where there will be special links to that content that you copy in order to paste into your RSS reader.\n\nThe RSS reader translates the code (called XML) from the link and displays regular HTML links for you to access on the content provider's site.\n\nWhile there are several reader programs available, I use My Yahoo!, which has a built-in RSS reader.

A Feed Reader lets you read all your subscriptions (digital newsletters, digital newspapers and even many other Web pages that change such as you e-mail (Gmail) or a wiki. Then, you don´t need to read them in your E-mail account. Effects: your E-mail storage is not disturbed; o spam newsletters in your E-mail account; and all your favorite pages can be viewed like one, at the moment at which webmaster changes the page (live), and you only view the changes (no more view the same thing twice); although, you can view your favorite web pages faster (like Flash, like a thunder). When you haven´t a good feed reader like Google Reader you are a turtle.\n\nWell, I recommend you register in Google Reader or other Feed Reader like Rojo. Then type any newsletter or newspaper the search engine and suscribe all you like. Click the first link in the sources (below), then you will can access to a My Google Reader account picture. Put your arrow over the top of the photo an and you can view a commentary about the search engine.\nThose are the basics about an RSS reader.\n\nA lot of more information exists. For example, if you click in a RSS icon in a Web page you can access to he feed, then, you can copy the Web URL and then, go to your Feed Reader (Google Reader, or whoever) and Add the URL as a Subscription, then, you can read the subscription in your Feed Reader.\n\nFirst, focus on the basics (below).

All you need to do is to build an 'xml' file, validate it and let the RSS engines know where it is.\n\nThe file will look something like this:\n\n<?xml version="1.0"?>\n<rss version="2.0">\n   <channel>\n \n<title>Title of your website</title>\n     <link>http://www.mywebsiteurl.com</link>\n     <description>Site description</description>\n     <language>en-us</language>\n\n<item>\n    <title>First news article title</title>\n    <link>http://www.mywebsiteurl.com/myarticle.html</link>\n    <description>Detailed description of the article</description>\n    <pubDate>Sun, 25 June 2006 17:00:00 -0800</pubDate>\n</item>\n\n<item>\n    <title>Second news article title</title>\n    <link>http://www.mywebsiteurl.com/myarticle.html</link>\n    <description>Detailed description of the article</description>\n    <pubDate>Sun, 18 June 2006 10:00:00 -0800</pubDate>\n</item>\n\n   </channel>\n</rss>\n\nTry this link to validate:\nhttp://rss.scripting.com\n\nRegister your feed with an RSS Aggregator:\nSyndic8:\nhttp://www.syndic8.com/suggest_start.php\nUserland:\nhttp://aggregator.userland.com/register\nNews4Sites:\nhttp://www.news4sites.com/utility/suggest_site.php?id=10\nYahoo MyYahoo\nhttp://publisher.yahoo.com/rss_guide/

RSS feeds are usually just the headline scrolling across some sort of RSS News Viewer.  However, depending on the viewer, you might have a link to click to read more info.\n\nMy modified xbox runs XBMC (A special dashboard or operating system)  It takes a link to an RSS feed in the configuration, and on the main home screen it displays a list of news articles on the RSS feed.\n\nSee:\nhttp://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/12/18/dive-into-xml.html\n\nhttp://rssview.sourceforge.net/

There are a couple of translations for RSS but many people like "really simple syndication". It's a file format with a defined structure that a RSS reader, such as Google Reader, FeedDemon, NewsGator parses to find site content. The file doesn't read well for people. \n\nMany blogs and sites use RSS files to alert readers that new content is available. Instead of your having to go out to each site to see what's new, you subscribe to the site's feed. This makes it  easier to follow sites.\n\nThe problem is that web sites identify RSS files in a number of ways. Some people use the orange RSS icon and some use the XML buttons. Others display a number of services where you can subscribe to a RSS feed like My Yahoo. The articles below provide more detail.
