RSS is a quick and easy way for you to browse the headlines of your favorite sites. It is a format for syndicating news and content from web site. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication or RDF site summary. Put simply, RSS basically allows you to view a feed of stories or posts that are on a web site.
