What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) allows you to see when updates are made to websites. This means you can stay up-to-date with the very latest information available online.
Using the RSS Feed
A news reader is required to use the RSS feed. Such a "news aggregator" contains software to read RSS feeds and is able to notify you when a news article is published. There are many different version available; some are browser based, and some are downloadable applications. If you have signed up to specific aggregators you can take advantage of the "Add Feed" buttons (see left). Different readers have different methods of subscribing to the feed such as:
- Drag the orange RSS button into your News Reader
- Drag the URL of the RSS feed into your News Reader
- Cut and paste the URL of the RSS feed into your News Reader
- Click on a one-click subscription icon
