What is a "RSS Feed?"
A RSS feed is a way for your browser or specialized RSS application to 'pull' new content from a site -- or many sites -- so it's ready whenever you want to read it. There are also websites that will collect the RSS feeds you want and present them to you as a personalized page. Bloglines is a popular one.
Most of these RSS readers also let you organize your "subscriptions" into folders you create -- say "career change" or "online deals."
For a better explanation than we can provide, see this BBC page.
LifeTwo's RSS Feeds
LifeTwo publishes RSS "feeds" for the homepage, each contributor's blog, and each section, topic, or tag. For instance, if you click on our tag "midlife crisis" to get to our list of stories on that subject, the RSS feed on that page will contain only new items about midlife crisis. If you go to our "Finds, Reviews, and Reference / Books" section, that RSS feed, you'll get only new material in that section. But if you subscribe to our homepage feed, you'll see all new stories on the site.
RSS On Other Sites
If you're at a site with a RSS feed, most browsers will show a icon in the address bar (where the "http:// ..." appears).
If the RSS icon does not appear in the address bar, sites will usually have a link on their homepage to information about their RSS feeds. News organizations, for instance, often have a dozen or more (National, Local, Sports ...).
