Thomas, RSS stands for RDF Site Summary, if I recall correctly. It's purpose is to provide a way for other sites to fetch news headlines and such stuff from your site and place them on their site. This is achieved by using a standard "language". A <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=rss" target="_blank">search for RSS on Google</a> gives you plenty of stuff to read <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
