The purpose of an RSS feed is for delivering updates to web-based content. RSS is not dependent upon email which is a good thing since email is not 100% reliable.

Webmasters originally created RSS files for breaking news and news headlines.

For visitors to receive an RSS feed, they will need a newsreader. In the same way that you need a radio receiver to be able to hear radio stations, you need a feed reader to get the feed content. The feed reader notifies the user of updates to sites they subscribe to, but not through email, directly through the feed reader.

Only the latest info will be included in a feed reader update. You do not have to do anything.

The newest trend in website development is to not display the RSS feed icon.
