What is RSS

Usually many of new bloggers are worried about the question what is RSS feed, how to use it, what to do witch RSS feed etc etc. So I am going to explain it in a very short description.

RSS is a technology used by billions of web masters/ web users around the world to keep track record of their favourite websites/blogs. Later on till the end of 20th century people use to “Bookmark” their favourite websites in their browser. They had to manually visit the website regularly by clicking on bookmark link to check for latest updates. There were several issues for doing so. If Visitors/Readers forgets to check the website regularly, he/she might get outdated or delayed information. Its really annoying to manage hundreds of bookmarks and its confusing to handle them. What if you get all the latest updates automatically for your favourite websites in one place without doing anything. Thats what the RSS do.

RSS is the latest form of New Technology upgrade. It saves your time and helps you to get all the latest and updated information as soon as it published. As soon there is something new at your favourite websites it will be delivered to your “RSS Reader”. So now there is no need to check each and every of your favourite websites daily for new updates.

Unread entries marked in bold letters. You can either read the full content on feed reader or can visit the web post.
