What is RSS? RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an easy way to get the news you want whenever it is updated even if you are not on The Root.com. The Root provides continually updated headline feeds and delivers them directly to your news reader.
What are the benefits of using RSS? RSS is an easy way for you to be alerted when content that interests you appears on your favorite Web sites. Instead of visiting a particular Web site to browse for new articles and features, RSS automatically tells you when something new is posted online.
How can I use RSS? There are several ways to access RSS feeds. You can install a news reader that displays RSS feeds from the Web sites you select. Like an email program or a Web browser, the news reader serves as a kind of information portal, and provides a real-time interface to the feeds you select. Once the RSS reader is set up to access TheRoot.com headlines, it will continually poll the The Root RSS feed for the latest headlines. A number of free and commercial news readers are available for download. Popular news readers include Newsgator, Feed Demon and Bloglines. After installing the news reader, you can add each feed manually from the Web site by clicking on the "RSS Feed" orange button next to the feed you choose.
