What Is an RSS Feed?
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" (though some say "Rich Site Summary"), and it lives up to that name. At its core, an RSS feed is a standardized format that websites use to publish their latest content updates. Think of it as a newsletter, but instead of landing in your email inbox, it arrives in a feed reader of your choice.
