New to RSS feeds? For now, we will just think of them as elements of our web page that "scrape" continually updated headlines from various sources. BTW, scraping is the way the process is often described. This is the method behind the news items that appear at the bottom of this page, and we will spend some more time talking about RSS later.

You have probably heard of blogs, but here's a blog definition from Webopedia: "Short for Web log, a blog is a Web page that serves as a publicly accessible personal journal for an individual. Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author."
