guide - rss feeds and content updates

RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a web feed that allows users and apps to access updates to websites in a standardized, computer-readable format.

subscribing to RSS feeds can allow a user to keep track of many different websites in a single RSS feed reader, which constantly monitor sites for new content, removing the need for the user to manually check them.
