What is RSS?

• Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an XML-based format used to enable the simple distribution of online content.
• RSS takes the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by showing you the very latest information that you are interested in.
• ComputerWeekly.com offers its users the chance to access the very latest stories using the RSS format in conjunction with a downloaded RSS reader with headlines, descriptions and links back to the full story.

Once you have the capability to view RSS Feeds all you need to do is click on the icon whenever it appears next to topics that take your interest, and follow the instructions on your RSS reader to receive updates on headlines relating to this topic.

Note that RSS Feeds are associated with a topic, or section of a website, rather than a specific news item. So, if you sign up for an RSS Feed when viewing an article you will receive the latest headlines relating to the section of the site that the article is in.
