RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is a technical format that allows online publishers to share and distribute their content to other websites or individual Internet users. It's commonly used for distributing headlines on news websites. Bloggers use it to distribute summaries of their blog entries as well. RSS is written in the Internet coding language. known as XML, which is why you see RSS buttons labeled that way.
RSS sitemaps are handled by Google and Yahoo among many others. Their website submission forms both tell you that an RSS file is acceptable, but did you know that RSS goes beyond the search engines? The RSS feeds that we create are fully valid RSS 2.0 and designed to interact well with RSS readers. Most RSS readers will report your newest pages at the top if the RSS feed is built correctly.
