RSS stands for ‘Really Simple Syndication’. It is a way to easily distribute content (news, stories, podcasts, the tutorial you’re reading right now) to a large number of people. Software programs, called RSS readers, take that content and present it in an easy to view format.

RSS feeds are read by RSS Readers. With an RSS reader you can subscribe to many feeds and read the new entries all in one place, without having to visit individual Web sites to find out what’s new. Web Browsers such as FireFox or Internet Explorer 7 have RSS reading facilities built in.

In Firefox (or Internet Explorer / Safari etc) click on the orange RSS icon in the browser address bar (see below). This will automatically add the Wallace Feed to your default reader.
