I provided a link to http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/aboutrss which explains it pretty well. An except: <blockquote>"RSS" stands for Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary, and/or Rockdale, Sandow, and Southern (Railroad) (if you trust the good folks at AcronymFinder.com). Really Simple Syndication is probably the most widely agreed-upon choice. As far as we are concerned, all three acronyms do an inadequate job of describing what RSS actually is: RSS is a standard for publishing regular updates to web-based content. Using this standard, Web publishers provide updates, such as the latest news headlines or weblog postings. Meanwhile, consumers use RSS reader applications (or one of a growing number of online services) to collect and monitor their favorite feeds in one place (RSS content from a publisher, viewed in one of these readers, is often called a "feed").</blockquote> If you've seen the little orange buttons that say "RSS" or "XML", or the ones like on here at Wild Tangents with the little waves flowing out toward the top right of the box, those sites provide this service. While not everyone provides somethat looks as fancy as mine in a web browser, you can get an idea of what they look like by clicking on the link for my feed provided below. http://www.wildtangents.net/feed/ A more common look for the feed file can be seen in the feed file for the comments to this post below. I know, it looks ugly.... http://www.wildtangents.net/2006/01/09/whats-been-going-one-at-this-wild-tangents-place/feed/ I hope this helps.... http://www.wildtangents.net/2006/01/09/whats-been-going-one-at-this-wild-tangents-place/#comment-20 ely Tue, 10 Jan 2006 13:38:42 +0000 http://www.wildtangents.net/2006/01/09/whats-been-going-one-at-this-wild-tangents-place/#comment-20 I found your link through CS's. I am new at this, but not new to Catholocism though. Come from a long line of friday fish eaters, or friday macky cheese eaters. Tell me, what is "feed"? A different kind of link? ELY I found your link through CS’s. I am new at this, but not new to Catholocism though. Come from a long line of friday fish eaters, or friday macky cheese eaters. Tell me, what is “feed”?
