Delivering Content with RSS - Part 1
 
Introduction
 
The delivery of web content is being revolutionized by a new technique known as syndication.  RSS, or Reall Sumple Syndication, has emerged as the most popular format for syndicating web content.  RSS is a format for delivering time-based web content in streams, or "feeds."  As a time based system, RSS content changes over time.
