“Syndicating” your Production
RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog
entries, news headlines, and podcasts in a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a
"feed", "web feed”, or "channel") contains either a summary of content from an associated web site
or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with web sites in an automated manner
that can be piped into special programs or filtered displays.

An RSS Feed is a dynamically generated summary (in XML format) of information or news published on
other web sites- so when the published RSS changes, your web site will be automatically changed too.
