What is RSS?

RSS, sometimes known as Really Simple Syndication, is a popular means of sharing content without requiring readers to constantly visit a web site to find what’s new. First Things web articles and blog posts are available through RSS feeds, which use a technology called XML to deliver headlines and summaries to your desktop or web browser.

To use RSS, copy the feed address and paste it into an RSS news reader (such as Google Reader), or use a browser which supports RSS feeds, such as Safari for Firefox.
