offshore Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 For a non IT brain, can someone please explain in simple English, what this RSS feed stuff is all about? See it popping up all over the place, but unfortunately I lack comprehension on this one. ( And am not game to start pushing buttons- Friend HAL may get pissed) Thanks in advance.

cornerstone Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 In layman's terms it's similar to the 'view new posts' button on this forum. The RSS feed from BBC News gives you the latest news stories - so you can just check "what is new" using other software (e.g. bookmarks in Firefox, Thunderbird too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really ashamed not knowing what RSS is, altough I used to work as a webdesigner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
