What is the "Syndication" Box For?

When you visit a user's weblog, you'll find a box titled "Syndication" that contains a "Subscribe" link. You can copy the address of that link into your feed reader, which will then download the user's recent weblog entries and alert you whenever the user updates their weblog.

Explaining how to use feed readers is beyond the scope of this article, but there's an article on Wikipedia, which explains what web feeds are, how they are typically used, and which programs you can use to view them.
