What is this icon I see? What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) enables you to view lots of web content without visiting the main website or browsing through lots of pages.

The website content is presented in a single list, which means that you can see the updated content more quickly. You can also re-display the content from an RSS feed on your own website.

Choosing the pages you wish to see in this way is easy: click on a link next to an RSS icon RSS. If your web browser supports it you will see an RSS icon in your browser address bar. Clicking the icon or link will load the RSS feed allowing you to bookmark it or read it just as you would a web page.
