Thanks for viewing my site. This page will explain to you what XML is, how to use it, and what it serves for my site. All posts on my site, along with comments made by my viewers, has a XML feed that you can use to actually view and read my site without ever visiting it. You can even have a little notification popup in your system tray when I make a new post to my site.

Please read on for more about this.

What is XML?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a W3C initiative that allows information and services to be encoded with meaningful structure and semantics that computers and humans can understand. XML is great for information exchange, and can easily be extended to include user-specified and industry-specified tags. – orafaq.com

Okay, I think I will describe it a little better for you. XML is a language, much like HTML, that uses tags to create a page readable by both humans and computers. You could actually read a XML page without a news reader program. However, its just not as pretty without a nice news reader.

XML provides a way for programs to alert you that there is new news on a site that you may be interested in, providing that site offers a XML feed. More and more sites across the internet are providing XML/RSS/ATOM feeds. All these feeds serve the same purpose.

Where can I find a News Reader?

Right here. I have uploaded to my site a freeware news reader that you may use and even redistribute yourself under the License agreement provided by the company that made it.
