What is RSS?

About RSS and feed readers

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an easy and free way to get the information you want whenever it is updated, even if you are not on the Petersons.com Web site. You choose what you want to track and how often you want to be updated.

To use RSS, you'll need to use a feed reader — a program that provides a real-time interface to the feeds you select. Two examples are Windows Live and Bloglines, but Peterson's RSS feeds should work with any reader using the standard XML-based format.

Ready to get started?

Pick a feed on Peterson's Feed Page and right-click on the icon and select "copy shortcut" or "copy link location." (Using a Mac? Click and hold or control-click instead of right-clicking.) Go to your feed reader of choice, paste the link into the relevant spot and you're set.
