What is a RSS feed?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a way for websites to distribute information, such as news items, recent changes, or important announcements. Using RSS, a website can "feed" this information to subscribers automatically.

How do I use an RSS feed?

Otherwise, you can search for RSS reader software, many of which are available to use for free.
