You may have noticed a new icon on the sidebar of the index page. You now have the option to syndicate information from steve's blog onto another website or onto a desktop program. The service is called RSS.
RSS is a standard for publishing regular updates to web-based content. Using this standard, Web publishers provide updates, such as the latest news headlines or weblog postings. Meanwhile, consumers use RSS reader applications (or one of a growing number of online services) to collect and monitor their favorite feeds in one place (RSS content from a publisher, viewed in one of these readers, is often called a "feed").
RSS is based on XML, a widely used standard for information exchange between applications on the Internet. RSS feeds can be viewed by human users as plain text, but they're really designed for computer-to-computer communication. RSS is just one standard for expressing feeds as XML.
It's a cool feature and you may read more about it here.
