So what is RSS?

RSS is short for “Really Simple Syndication”. It sounds like a mouthful but it is just a label. Well, you will see more of it below:

The beauty of RSS Feeds:

RSS Feeds enable you to get news feeds and updates on any topics that interest you fast and easy. You don’t have to check or be on the lookout on what’s coming.
