What is RSS?
RSS stands for "RDF Site Summary" or "Rich Site Summary" or "Really Simple Syndication" depending on different sources or opinions. In a nut shell, it is an XML-based format for distributing and aggregating Web content.
Using RSS, Web content providers can easily create and disseminate feeds of data that include, for example, news links, headlines, and summaries. See Technology at Harvard Law for more info.
Here's an example, of course it will take the look of your web site using your style sheet.
