What is RSS

Hey!! You may have been seeing those little orange RSS or XML buttons around the Internet. Have you ever  wondered what's that?

Woww!!! It's "the next big thing" !!!

You can use it to get newsfeeds from CNN or BBC, as well as just about anything else, including news on upcoming movies, DVD releases, your favorite musician's tour updates, etc.

Once you get started, it's like having your favorite parts of the Web come to you. No need to go out and check for updates all the time.

"RSS" means "Really Simple Syndication."  Simple to say that you can keep up with all the updates to this home network, wireless network and networking tips site without having to check the site every week to see "what's new". Whenever I put up a new page or update an old one, I will release it through RSS.

How do you get started? Easy!

Download a free RSS Reader first. This is special software that reads the RSS feeds... There are many choices available, so choose the best for you...
