- Feed BasicsWhat is RSS?• Page 1 (Original Post) • John (152.163.34.87) - RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. But it's not just for news. Pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS: the "recent changes" page of a wiki, a changelog of CVS checkins, even the revision history of a book. Once information about each item is in RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check the feed for changes and react to the changes in an appropriate way. Comment #1 star123 (220.226.172.246) - Nice info there. Well for me, RSS is the element that makes a blog different from the old-style static website. The initials stand for 'Really Simple Syndication' (also Rich Site Summary - pick the one you like). What it does is announce changes to the website by creating a "feed" that can be read by the spider from an aggregator such as Bloglines or NewsGator. • Page 1 (Original Post) •
