Do you even know what RSS is?

Good example..
http://slashdot.org/
Way at the bottom there is RSS. The link is http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot

Take a look at that... see how its all weird looking XML?

RSS is basically the basic data of a website. Many people have RSS news readers which connect to that and interpret the RSS feeds so that they get news updates like email.

In your case, they have just basically subscribed to your blog so that when you update it will basically show up in something that looks like email with your update in it.
