RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a relatively new technology based on a database markup language called XML. Don't let these terms intimidate you, though. Using RSS is really simple.

Basically, RSS is a semi-live feed that sends the latest entries, posts and updates on a certain website to a central platform. This platform (also commonly referred to as the "aggregator") might be Google's RSS reader feature, an RSS reader software, the RSS plug-ins on certain browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Maxthon, etc.

Using this feature, you can have a list of all the titles of the latest posts and blog entries of this site, together with either excerpts or complete contents of the post (including images), and reach the original post with one single click on the title.

Using RSS is very easy. Whatever platform or software you are using as the RSS reader, there must be a button or feature called "add a new feed" or something of that sort. Just click on that feature and copy-paste (or manually type) the RSS Feed address in that line.

If you're using Maxthon, under default settings, you should automatically see the RSS feed icon appear on the lower right when you visit this site. That is the default feed for the site, although it's restricted to the Blog Central.

Those of you who are veterans of the subject won't have any problems using the RSS feeds. However, beginners can perhaps use the following links to step into RSS.

Google Reader - Currently seems to be in a beta-like stage, but if you have an account at Google, it's a nice and very simple tool to use.

My Yahoo - Although it's known for WordPress-based RSS feeds to cause small clashes with My Yahoo, you might also give this one a shot if you are a Yahoo member.

FeedReader3 - A very simple, freeware news reader.

Maxthon - A browser shell that works under the IE motor. If you don't want to switch to Mozilla Firefox or Opera yet, you can still benefit from what IE has to offer on certain websites, with features like tabbed browsing, etc. There's also a built-in RSS reader.
