I
don't know what it is. So, what is it?
RSS stands for "Rich Site Summary" or "Really Simple Syndication".
A RSS Feed is a way to get news from a remote place to display it
in an application on your computer. You don't actually need to go
to the site to get the information, the information comes to you.
There are plenty of different freely available applications. A
google search gives you a lot of results.
Check it our here:

How
does it work?
It is basically as simple as this:
First you need to find a RSS Reader and install it on your
computer.
Secondly, you need to enter the Address of the RSS feed in the
application.

OK,
what is the address (again)?
The DFA News Feed can be accessed using this address:
http://www.dfarena.com/rssfeed.php

I
really don't want to install a new program just to see the DFA
News on my computer. Isn't there a different solution?
There sure is. The Firefox Web browser made by the The Mozilla
Organization supports so called LIVE BOOKMARKS. Those are
bookmarks which display RSS Feeds right in your web browser.
Why would you use a different browser only because you want to see
the RSS Feed? Because Firefox is compared to MSIE the better
choice all around. It is loaded with features and most
importantly, it is much more secure.
To learn more about the LIVE BOOKMARKS and how to set it up, click

This is how it looks like (click image for larger view):

What
Windows Programs are available?
Tons, here are three examples:
1. Feedreader (http://www.feedreader.com)
(direct download)
2. RSSReader (http://www.rssreader.com)
(direct download)
3. Other Readers (http://blogspace.com/rss/readers)

I would like to
display the DFA
News on my own web site. Can this be done?
Yes, that can be done.
Here is one example:
ZFEEDER (http://zvonnews.sourceforge.net)
In order to use ZFEEDER, your web server must support PHP and you should be
familiar with setting up PHP Scripts and embedding PHP pages in
your own page (PHP include).
To see ZFEEDER in action click
