RSS stands for "real simple syndication" or "rich site syndication" or "RDF site summary". This is a file created by the use of XML and contains an aggregate of your blog content all in one place.As your blog is updates the RSS is updated creating an up to date resource of your blog's content.
An RSS feed is useful as it is a standardized format that all software programs, devices and websites can read and access no matter what platform you are on. As well it allows subscriptions to your blog so people can be informed of any new blog entries you make. This creates an easy method for people to access your most recent content without having to go to your blog to find out when and what you have created. It allows you to promote your blog and to keep in touch with your followers.
An aggregate or feed reader allows your followers to interface with your RSS feed. Headlines of your blog are featured in the RSS similar t o an email. You simply click on the headline to get to the blog post.
If you use Blogger or WordPress your RSS feed is automatically created for you and updated as you add content. It is up to you to promote your RSS feed to gain more readers. You should include the RSS feed on your blog for readers to copy. An RSS feed widget can be easily added to your blog interface. You can also add this to your email signature, website and anywhere you have an Internet presence.
