    It stands for "really simple syndication." Creating one depends on the platform you're using "wordpress, xsitepro, sitebuilder etc" but it's very easy and it allows people to hear about whatever you are "broadcasting" and keeping up to date on their favorite websites easily. Hope this helps!

    The easiest way to explain it is like the news ticker that scrolls across the bottom of the screen when you are watching CNN. It is basically a web feed that publishes frequently updated content.

    An RSS feed contains the latest content available from a particular website. It makes it easier for you to keep up to date with a website or a number of websites without having to keep visiting the sites regularly. It also makes it easy for a website to automatically publish fresh and up to date content from other websites.

    RSS is a great supplemental communication method that does not burden the publisher with maintaining lists or following strict privacy guidelines. RSS feeds are compiled according to the user's choices, removing any burden that is placed on publishers of email newsletters. Publishers no longer need to be concerned with spam, privacy policies, and age guidelines.
