RSS+Feeds

Want to keep up with the latest sports scores, news or education news on a favorite blog or website??? Use RSS feeds!! RSS is an acronym for Real Simple Syndication. There are many RSS aggregators available that can be used to collect feeds from your favorite sites. The first step is to determine if the site has an RSS feed. Look for the RSS symbol in the URL line. Then click on the icon to get the url for the RSS feed. Once you have this URL you will insert the URL into a feed aggregator.
