As our reader found, if you click on an RSS Feed from your Internet Browser such as our Feed here at groovyPost – it might come up looking like a bunch of Website Code. With RSS Feeds, you just Subscribe to your favorite sites and let the feeds come to you all in one place!Īn RSS Reader is required to Subscribe and Read an RSS Feed. You don’t have to go out and surf the Internet looking for news you MIGHT find interesting.

The News Information is delivered to YOU. If the RSS Summary Article looks interesting, you can Click on the Link, and your Browser will open, taking you directly to the article. RSS Feeds are a “REALLY” nice way to “Quickly” and easily monitor your favorite Website(s) for new Articles or News typically with “0” advertisements. At the bottom of each Post Summary will be a link that the reader can Click on if they think the Article sounds interesting. Typically an RSS Feed will contain the just the first few paragraphs of the latest 15-20 Published Articles/Blog Post/How-To Articles.

It can also be a lot more than that but in it’s most basic/common form – an RSS Feed is essentially a way for a Web Publisher to alert their Regular Readers that new content is available on their Website. The most basic definition of an RSS Feed is a News Feed.

The RSS initials stand for – “Really Simple Syndication” or if you’re an old-timer, “Rich Site Summary.” RSS is an Internet language standard similar to HTML. Now, like most Geeks, I thought everyone knew what an RSS feed was until I received an email from a Reader here at groovyPost: Finally however I figured it out and honestly, my Web Surfing Habits changed forever (seriously in a good way). Now granted, this was a few years back, and unfortunately, there was LITTLE information I could find on the topic. If you’re like me, the first time I saw RSS, I was a little confused. Subscribe! Great! Um… How? RSS? What the HECK IS THAT and why do all Websites on the Internet want me to Subscribe to their RSS Feed?
