This tip was over long due. Syndication is a very important part of Blog promotion. I will just give you the very basic notes on that, purely intended for very basic blog starters.

Syndication or more precisely content syndication is a blanket term used to refer to accessing and publishing web content (text, images, etc.) in one or both of these formats: RSS and Atom.

Blogger can make their content available through syndication by using either RSS and/or Atom technology to produce what is known as ‘feeds’ (’blog feeds’ or ‘news feeds’). These feeds can either show headlines only, headlines and summary, or full content. Many Blog systems/software incorporate content syndication as one of their features. Syndicated content on the web are usually indicated with text links or graphic buttons that show the words RSS, Atom, XML, Syndicate, and/or Subscribe. They may be found on blogs, websites, news sites, and other types of online content providers.

Readers and/or fellow web publishers can access the latest updates of particular sites with content syndication when they use aggregators and/or feeds generators.

I am sure that will clear up the clouds you have regarding RSS or syndication. I will suggest if you want to know in depth feature of syndication visit feedburner site.
