Stupid Question: Can someone Explain RSS to me?

[vbkid]

Hey Guys,

I know my marketing, but some technical stuff gets away from me with all this coding, etc...

1) What is RSS?
2) What does it do?
3) How does it help your site?
4) What are RSS subscribers?
5) How can you contact them?

Thanks again!

RSS stands for really simple syndication. It allows you to 'subscribe' to things like blogs.

It helps users subscribe to your site so they don't have to always type it in. If you use a feed reader, you can see all your subscriptions and who has new content.
