What is an RSS Feed?

RSS is a text-based format based on XML. RSS files (which are also called RSS feeds or channels) simply contain a list of items. Usually, each item contains a title, summary, and a link to a URL. Other information, such as the date, creator's name, etc., may also be available. The most common use for RSS files is for news and other reverse-chronologically ordered websites.

How do I view an RSS Feed?

You can view an RSS feed via your web browser, but it is not the suggested method. Special characters, which will be parsed (or read) correctly by an RSS aggregator, may not be parsed correctly by your browser since the document is an XML document.

RSS aggregators are set up to periodically check for new items in the feeds you subscibe to, commonly once every hour. The new headlines are automatically downloaded to your aggregator.
