What Is RSS?

ProjectConstellation.US offers its weblog content using Really Simple Syndication (RSS) technology. RSS is a text-based data format that is based on XML. It allows other websites to easily publish our news feeds, and also allows end-users to read our news feeds using alternative programs and devices other than the generic web browser.

Feeds using both RSS 2.0 & RSS 1.0 specifications are available, and additionally there is a Comments feed using RSS. You can find the links to all of these on the main page's right hand column.
