What happens when you click on the RSS icon in whichever site you find it?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:You need an RSS reader (either built into the web like www.feedly.com) or you need an RSS Client software (of which there are dozens). RSS means “real simple syndication” which is a way to ‘subscribe’ to new information from a website while not being in the website. In short, it’s for current awareness in the future, not really for doing this now.
