What
is RSS
Hey!!
You may have been seeing those little orange RSS
or XML buttons around the Internet. Have
you ever wondered what's that?
Woww!!! It's "the next big thing" !!!
You can use it to get newsfeeds from CNN or BBC, as well as just about
anything else, including news on upcoming movies, DVD releases, your
favorite musician's tour updates, etc.
Once you get started, it's like having your favorite parts of the Web come to
you. No need to go out and check for updates all the time.
"RSS" means "Really Simple Syndication." Simple
to say that you can keep up with all the updates to this home network,
wireless network and networking tips site without
having to check the site every week to see "what's new".
Whenever I put up a new page or update an old one, I will release it
through RSS.
How
do you get started? Easy!
Download a free RSS Reader first. This is special software that reads the
RSS feeds... There are many choices available, so choose the best for
you...

on a site, blog or news source that interests you. Start by right-clicking
on the orange button below. Then...
 Select Copy
Shortcut ("Copy Link to Clipboard" for Mac, "Copy Link
Location" for Firefox browsers), and paste that URL into your RSS
Reader.
And that's it! You're subscribed.
Right-click and get started.
