[ATM] OT Re: A Gentle Reminder (was Mirrors for sale)



Hi,

Since there has been more than one question regarding RSS,
I'll repost what I have sent to other people off list.

The link is, of course, on the top page :-D

What is RSS?

It means Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication, depending on whom
you ask. In one sentence, it is XML data in certain format returned from
a website.

While it has many uses, one of the most common is a way to read news from
a lot of websites in a simple and consistent manner. If you want to
learn more, I suggest this link:

Hope this helps.
