Blog Topic #3:

RSS stands for Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication. With RSS you the reader is able to subscribe to a blog post and receive notice when the site is updated. Most sites will have a RSS button which the user would click to subscribe to a constantly updating post.

One of the main benefits of using an RSS feed is that the reader can subscribe to many posts on different sites and not have to visit each site individually to get updated on the latest news. This is acheived by running an aggregator (or feed reader) program that receives the information from the various sites and displays it for the reader. These progams can be web-based or installed on your desktop computer.

The RSS feed would allow each student to be informed everytime a fellow student has updated their post.
