What is an RSS channel and why do you need it?
Have you ever thought how to quickly and rapidly get all the updates from your chosen websites without checking each one manually? This is where an RSS subscription comes to the rescue.

How does it work?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a system that allows you to automatically receive updates from websites and blogs that you check. RSS feeds work like a specific subscription. You subscribe to valuable content and get it directly into your program for reading RSS feeds – also known as an RSS program.
What programs do you need to view RSS feeds?
To start using RSS feeds, you need to choose and install an RSS reading app. Here are a few popular options:
Feedly – one of the most popular RSS readers with a intuitive interface and support for all devices. It allows you to simply work with your subscriptions.
Inoreader – another advanced tool for reading RSS feeds, offering numerous features for experienced users, such as filters and categorization.
The Old Reader – a reader that is similar to the old version of Google Reader. It’s suited for those who value minimalism and modesty.
Netvibes – this platform provides you to create a personalized homepage with RSS streams, widgets, and other modules.
Additionally, there are mobile versions for reading RSS feeds, such as Reeder for iOS or gReader for Android.
How to set up an RSS feed?
Setting up an RSS feed is straightforward:
Choose an RSS reader that matches your needs in terms of interface.
Add feeds: find the RSS icon on the website (it’s usually an orange icon with white waves), click on it, copy the URL, and paste it into your reader.
Organize feeds: divide them into sections to conveniently find the content you need.
Set up notifications: if you want to promptly know about recent posts, set up notifications or auto-update.
Why do you need this?
RSS feeds let you stay up-to-date with all the events without spending time on tedious website visits. You’ll always know what’s happening on your preferred blogs, news portals, and other resources.
