Tired of searching for new web content? An RSS feed makes it easy to monitor your favourite news websites and blogs.

Reading news is one of the most popular online activities. You probably have a few favourite sites that you visit regularly to catch up on the latest information. Wouldn't it be great if that information could be delivered directly to you?

RSS - Rich Site Summary, or Really Simple Syndication as some people call it - is a way to look for and receive the latest news, website updates, or any kind of regularly updated information. RSS is an XML-based format for transmitting news headlines and other updates on the internet.

In this report, we explain how RSS works, and give step-by-step instructions on how to subscribe, add and remove a feed.
