Hi Cliff

A BLOG is short for "Web log", a kind of online diary with clickable links.

"RSS (RDF Site Summary - formerly called Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) is a method of describing news or other Web content that is available for "feeding" (distribution or syndication) from an online publisher to Web users. RSS is an application of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) that adheres to the World Wide Web Consortium's Resource Description Framework (RDF). Originally developed by Netscape for its browser's Netcenter channels, the RSS specification is now available for anyone to use."

Now if the aforementioned didn't confuse, then nothing will!

Simply, it means you can "subscribe" to it rather like bookmarking a page.

Did you have a look at it? If you give it a burl it should be reasonably self-explanatory.
