Good but geeky :-)

What is a “feed”?

It is a Web product that allows you easily to see (and read, if you wish) what is new on the Web site and Web logs you visit most often.

Why can’t I just visit these sites myself, one by one?

You can. This way is easier.

What is RSS?

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a great way for you to know when new information is posted on a Web site you subscribe to. RSS is an XML (Extensible Markup Language)-based format for distributing Web content.

How do I read RSS feeds?

You can setup up a service provided through your internet browser (for beginners) or you can download and install a RSS reader on your computer or web browser (a little more advanced).

Does it work on Macintosh, Linux, and Windows?

Yes. I will begin to provide instructions for various operating systems.

Generally speaking in the open sources internet browsers (Safari, Firefox, etc) there is a built in RSS Feed reader built in.

We will start nice and easy though :-)
