Don't know if this has been covered before (couldn't find it on a search) but what does RSS do, how do you use it, is it worth it?

Thanks Simon. I think I get the idea, but the explanation of how to use it is as clear as mud!

Usual BBC jargon. It's better to go to the website for one of the RSS clients they recommend and read their guides on how to use as they all differ slightly.

If you are using firefox you can get an extension called Sage to do RSS feeds. I hope Banana doesn't set up RSS here, otherwise I'd never get anywork done :(

What a wonderful idea. No point if it won't work properly like searching for new posts though ;)

RSS is alright, I got bored of it after a while though.
