What is RSS?
RSS is a tool that allows you to know when there is new content on a
website without visiting the site directly. By subscribing to RSS
feeds you receive summaries of the latest content from sites you
like to read.
Instead of visiting the Global Fund's website every day to read our new
blog entries, we will send all our RSS subscribers the headlines of our
new stories every time we update our site. It's a tool to help you save time
and to help us keep you up-to-date on the Global Fund's network of
powerful women.
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and is a tool that has been
popularized by bloggers. Essentially RSS files are small files that
have been written in HTML code for computers. An RSS feed reader or
aggregator "translates" the code and appears in your feed reader.
