What is RSS?
RSS (formally "RDF Site Summary", known colloquially as "Really Simple Syndication") is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as event calendars, blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a "feed", "web feed", or "channel", contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that's easier than checking them manually.
RSS content can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader" or an "aggregator". The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds.

Safari
- When viewing a page on this site, Safari (on Tiger, not Panther or previous versions of the OS) adds the following RSS icon to the address bar
- This gives you a nice view of the RSS data with one click on the bottom right: "Add Bookmark..." Select a destination folder and save.
- The next step is to tell Safari that you have RSS feeds and that you'd like to have the browser automatically keep you current on what's at that site. This is accomplished by choosing Safari --> Preferences... and then clicking on the "RSS" option:
- Once you make your preferred RSS settings, close the dialog box and you are finished.
