What is an RSS feed?
RSS, or “Really Simple Syndication” is an XML-based format for distributing web content. Users can subscribe to RSS feeds using readers, or aggregators, which display the links, headlines, and a brief summary of the feed. The reader automatically incorporates changes for RSS subscribers when content in the feed has been updated or changed.

How do I use RSS feeds from the Fed?
You will need to install a reader, or aggregator, to view the feed. Searching for "RSS reader" in your favorite search engine should provide many options. Most readers require the web address, or URL, for the feed in order to display the RSS. Selecting the orange RSS button on the site will display the content in a formatted manner, but you will still need to copy the URL from your browser and supply it to the reader so it will know where to find the information.
