The FREE RSS delivers the homepage's featured resource, and new
resources added to the FREE site. "RSS" stands for Really Simple
Syndication or Rich Site Summary. It is an XML-based format for
distributing headlines with links to resources. To receive the
FREE RSS, you need to do two things: Get a "news reader" (also
known as a "news aggregator"). Some newer web browsers come with
readers already installed. Also, there are a number of free or
shareware RSS news readers available. The DMOZ Open Directory
Project has numerous links to RSS readers and tutorials. (If
you're interested in additional RSS news feeds from other
organizations, see the news feed directories at Syndic8.com.)
Add the FREE RSS feed to your news reader. You can do this by
adding a new entry that points to http://www.ed.gov/free/free-
rss.xml or by importing it from one of the news feed
directories. FREE currently uses the RSS 2.0 format. See the RSS
2.0 specification.
