Note: If your RSS reader supports it, you can also import the feeds using What is RSS? Really Simple Syndication(RSS) permits us to make available our latest news and updates through an RSS "feed." These feeds contain the titles, descriptions and links for our most recent updates. This can be done without having to repeatedly navigate our Web sites looking for new content. What is an RSS reader? An RSS Reader is a browser-based tool for accessing news feeds in RSS formats. The tool allows you to browse available news services and read news summaries online. Since RSS readers only display subscribed content, users know they will not receive spam. Users can customize the size or appearance of the items displayed as they wish. RSS readers allow users to view updates made today, this week or over any time period they choose. How do I subscribe to an RSS feed? In many cases, just copy the actual address of the feed into the RSS reader. Newer readers simply require the user to click on the RSS button to subscribe. The newest version of all major browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Safari, etc.) contain full RSS functionality as a standard feature. Mozilla users can click on the subscribe image on the status bar to add the feed to their "live bookmarks". Don't have an RSS Reader? If you're running Windows and interested in trying an RSS Reader, I recommend RSS Reader. It's simple to install, effective and has no license cost. (And no, I have no affiliation with them, just a satisified user). |
