I straight up don't understand how RSS works.
-
Individual sites have RSS feeds, which are essentially just XML files that contain a list of all the articles on the site.
You run software that's referred to as a feed reader, which contains a list of all the RSS URLs you want to subscribe to. It either periodically checks to see if there's updates to the RSS files, or gets notified of updates via WebSub.

This seems great for keeping up on your favorite blogs.

Definitely :)
It used to be the main way people followed their favourite blogs. Google had a great product called "Google Reader" for RSS, and people were pretty upset when it was shut down.
Before Google Reader, it was pretty common for email clients to support RSS too.
