What Is RSS and Why Should You Care?
2 Comments Published by eJone 2 years, 7 months ago in Click Tech, Click Facts 
A few of my friends asked me what RSS was when they saw my FeedBurner chicklet at the top right-hand corner on a few of my websites. I’m sure that most of you have come across it yourself on other websites. You’ve probably even heard or seen “RSS Feeds” being mentioned a lot in the online publishing world and/or blogging community (i.e. TypePad, Wordpress, Blogger, etc.).
So what is RSS? What’s so important about it? Do you need it?
RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication” and to simply put, it’s just another way for publishers to deliver/syndicate/distribute content. An “RSS feed” refers to the content being delivered, and is not commonly viewable on web browsers as it produces different code i.e. XML instead of HTML.
