What is RSS?

You probably have seen this three-letter acronym in the course of your internet surfing. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary; syndicating means republishing an article that comes from another source such as a website.

But those that provide summaries (thus Rich Site Summary) allow users to skim through the article so that they could decide later on if they want to access the website source. The RSS feed usually contains the title of the update originating from the website. It is also usually the link to the website source.

Excellent, informative stuff!

I have a desktop aggregator (I think) and RSS feeds on my blogs, and even some feeds to my web site, but setting up my own content feeds on my other sites was kind of daunting Just yesterday I was searching the web.

Having validation problem on WorldPress for XHTML., for instance.
Could use some help there, lol!

Thanks for sharing

Blogs have predifined RSS feeds. On websites I use ROR site map generator to create xml file and to have a feed link.
I have one posted on my www-egold-romania.com
and the rss feed looks like: http://www.e-gold-romania.com/ror.xml
You can create a rss at:
