RSS: What is it?

[Serex]

Hai :D

Ok ive been coding websites for like 4 years but have never touched anything to with RSS or anything similar, was just wondering if someone could simply explain to me what they are and how u use them it would be great.

to me it looks like some way of recieving updated stats/news or something.

thanks

[edit] mmm plz move to some more relevant topic =/ lol my bad

Actually, you're in the right place. I will let someone else explain what RSS is, because I can't quite put it into an exact definition...
