RSS

What is RSS?

RSS is a popular way to pull in news and information from across the Web. "Really Simply Syndication" allows web sites and blogs to push content to you easily.

RSS feeds can be easily added to a variety of sources, from a My Yahoo home page, to a desktop 'aggrigator' such as sage, or even downloaded much like email in applications such as Mozilla Thunderbird.

Anytime you see an RSS button like this: RSS clicking on it will load the feed. To add to your My Yahoo, or other RSS agrigator, copy and paste the link from this button into that application to have the latest news downloaded automatically.
