RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It's a way to subscribe to information on a website so it gets delivered directly
to you. In order to take advantage of RSS, you need to have an RSS reader that will grab the new information in a feed and alert you that
it's there. So instead of checking a website to see if there are updates, your RSS reader will alert you when there's something new you
might want to read.
See a video that explains RSS clearly.
How do I get an RSS reader?
Most RSS readers are free, and are divided into two main groups: downloaded applications that live on your computer and web-based readers
that you can access from any computer on the web. Here's a basic list of some popular RSS readers available to you for free:

What else can I do with RSS?
Generally, you wouldn't set up RSS just to see one site. The power of RSS is more obvious when you start subscribing to lots of sites. Then,
instead of looking at 10, 20 or 50 sites every day, you can just check your RSS reader and see what's new on all the sites you normally visit.
