What is an RSS Feed?

Feeds help you save time and be more productive. Rather than checking your favorite blogs and news sites every day for updates, you can subscribe to a feed so that all the content from those sites comes to you. Software that checks feeds for updates and sends them to you is called a "feed reader".

Feeds come in a few different formats, the most common being RSS (Really Simple Syndication). Other formats include Atom and XML. Any good feed reader can accept any of these formats.

How Can I Find a Feed?

Websites that have an available feed you can subscribe to typically will show one of the following icons in the browser toolbar:

How it Works

The feed or RSS icon shows that there is content on that page or site that you can subscribe to through a feed reader. By clicking on the icon you can look at the feed and see what kind of content is there.
