The following video by Common Craft does a great job of explaining the ins and outs of RSS.
In order to harness the power of RSS, you need a way to read it comfortably. I recommend starting with an aggregator, otherwise known as a feed reader. But first, familiarize yourself with the images in the column to the right. Each of these are examples of the common way in which web authors advertise their feeds. They are typically found on blogs but can be found on any number of web resources.

No additional work is required on your part, beyond viewing the content. And the subscription continues until you cancel. Now the newspaper analogy is a bit simplistic as RSS can be used in much richer ways, take the reading list I developed for a graduate level course on educational technology as an example.

I then used a script, provided by del.icio.us, to embed that feed into the Course Readings wiki page.
