What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format for sharing and distributing Web content. It is an easy way to keep up with PHPartners news and new content that is delivered directly to you as a "feed". It is written in the Internet coding language known as XML (eXtensible Markup Language). An RSS reader (or aggregator) is needed to collect the content of an RSS feed and display it in a readable format.

Where can I get an RSS Reader?

Some Web browsers, such as the most recent versions of Firefox and Internet Explorer, have built in RSS readers. There are also many RSS readers available for download on the Internet that offer a variety of functions and features. To find an RSS feed reader, type "RSS reader" into an Internet search engine. PHPartners does not endorse any particular reader.
