So, what is RSS?

RSS is a specially formatted XML file, containing news items sorted by date. This RSS file is published on the Internet by a web-server (like any other web-page) and typically it is a static XML file that can be edited with any text editor. Optionally this file can be dynamically generated by a server-side script like PHP or ASP.NET. The XML-file format is described by RSS 2.0 specification. RSS 2.0 format is the most simple and widely accepted feed format, which makes it truly popular among others.
