RSS Infos
What is RSS?
RSS is a standard for the exchange of news. It stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS is used to provide content from websites – primarily news – in machine-readable form.
An RSS document consists of only "content", or the actual text of a page without design and layout elements. Therefore, an RSS document can be read regardless of the platform.
Offers in RSS format are called news feeds or RSS feeds.
What is RSS used for?
Surfing for interesting information on the Web can take some effort if one visits many different websites.
With RSS you can make your daily search for information easier: news from different websites can be quasi "subscribed to". However, it must be provided in RSS format.
To be able to subscribe to and read RSS feeds, an individual RSS newsreader is needed.
The RSS newsreaders offer a central site where personal information sources are regularly announced and can be picked up.
How do I subscribe to an RSS feed?
Simply copy the RSS link and insert it into your RSS newsreader.
