What Is RSS?
Click on any orange RSS button to get the latest
Web pages from this site.
You can use them anywhere else on the Web (they're everywhere nowadays)
to get newsfeeds from CNN or BBC, or just about anything else,
including news on upcoming movies and 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. No need for bookmarks!
"RSS" means "Really Simple Syndication." But
that's just a fancy way of saying that you can keep up with all the
updates to this site without having to check the site
every week to see "what's new." New pages and updates to old ones are
released through RSS.
How do you get started?
Easy!
You can use a
Web-based RSS reader, like My
Yahoo!, My MSN, or iGoogle/Google Reader. Look for any of the buttons
in the left navigation bar of this site. Simply click the button and
follow instructions.
