rss help guide
What is RSS? RSS is a file used by news readers and some web browsers to display a summary of featured content from a website. If you subscribe to a RSS feed, you will be able to view a summary of the latest content without visiting the site every time you want to check for updates. This way the latest information is pushed to you as and when it updates.
