RSS, or Really Simple Syndication
Subscribe in a reader
If you already know about RSS, you can subscribe to the news feed for this site using the above icon/link. If you want to know more about what this RSS is all about, read on:

RSS is a way of keeping track of new updates to a website by subscribing to the site’s news feed. You set up a news feed reader, and then subscribe to the news feeds of websites you want updates from. Then, when new items are added, they will by delivered (or syndicated) to your feed reader. This means that you just have to go to your feed reader to see if there is anything new you need to know about, rather than having to visit a whole load of individual websites.

Here’s a few bits of further reading and resources to explain this far better than I can, and give some proper guidance on getting started with RSS:

• The BBC produce a good basic guide to news feeds.
• The ICT Hub Knowledgebase also has a good introduction.
• Common Craft have put together a video to explain in a more visual way.
• Problogger have an introductory article – ‘What is RSS’
• An article from Lifehacker on the pros and cons of desktop vs online feed readers
• And Techsoup’s article’ Why non-profit managers must use RSS – and how to start
• A ‘What is RSS’ article from the EdVibes blog
