3. What is RSS? #1
● One way to keep track of it all has grown very
popular since its introduction in 1997: RSS.
● RSS: Short for Really Simple Syndication (at
least now -- more on that later)
● RSS is a way to subscribe to a source of
information, such as a Web site, and get brief
updates delivered to you.

4. What is RSS? #2
● Some Web-browsing software automatically
detects RSS feeds.
● Some Web-browsing software automatically
detects RSS feeds. Firefox and Opera display
the now-common square orange badge for a
Web feed in the browser's address bar when
they find RSS feeds on a site.

5. How RSS Reader
● Reading RSS feeds can be a great time-saver.
● The ease with which you can view RSS
headlines may convince you that you can
subscribe to even more sites.
● So, you need something that can read, or
aggregate, RSS files. Aggregators collect and
interpret RSS feeds in one location.

6. Aggregator rolls
● Do you want to see full articles on one page?
Or do you just want the headlines?
● These are options that your aggregator will
give you help you enjoy your reading.
● Some browsers let you read the feeds within
the program itself.

7. Creating RSS Feeds
● RSS isn't really that different from a normal
Web site
● SS uses the World Wide Web Consortium's
Resource Description Framework (RDF) as a
guide to tell a feed aggregator how to read
the file.
● RDF is based on extensible markup language
(XML)
