I'm completely new to this rss feed thing. I manage a web site called recoverytoday.net which offers new articles at the beginning of every month. We recently talked to another addiction recovery related web site which features articles from another web site through an rss feed. They would like to have our articles on their web site through an rss feed.
I messed around in the rss feed demo and it seems very easy. But how do they subscribe to our feed? I'm guessing we create a channel, put our content on it and then some how they get it? What is the process, and does rss feed do everything I need it do based on what I said above?
Thanks for your help and patience with a non-technical person.

yes this is correct. You create a channel and add your content to it. Then each channel has its own URL which can be accessed and feed data can be downloaded with RSS reader.
So basically when you create a channel and start adding content to it all you have to do is to give channel URL to this other webmaster.

Do the web sites that subscribe to my feed define text color, font etc.? For example, will it fit in with the other feeds?: http://allianceforrecovery.org/media_news.html

RSS feeds are used to download data from other websites and using scripts to read these feeds you can change the fonts and styles for the data downloaded from them. RSS feed just provides the data in a standardized format and you need some RSS feed (for example PHP script) to read it and show it on your website.
