RSS - is just a standardized file format for delivering changing Web content. This standard allows many different web sites to provide news in common format, so it can be easily handled by readers. Here is how it works:

1. Web server provide link to RSS feed, as an example our feed is http://www.grigsoft.com/grigsoft.xml.
2. While surfing the web you can see these icons: or - these are standard images for RSS, most modern browsers can display it notifying user that news feed is available.
3. To handle feeds, you need special program - feed reader, which will load feeds, process them and display news to you.
4. Now you can add feed of your favorite sites to reader.
5. Once configured, reader will check for updates routinely either automatically or by your command, and show you what has changed.
