What is RSS?

RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication. RSS feeds are an easy and efficient way to recieve notification when new information is available in a specific area of interest.

How Can I Benefit From RSS?

RSS feeds save time, allowing users to recieve notification only when new content is available. Web site visitors choose the information they wish to subscribe to and can unsubscribe from any feed at any point.

How Do I Subscribe to RSS Feeds?

First you will need an RSS feed reader (also called a news aggregator) there are a number of RSS readers available. A short list is available at:

RSS readers are simply programs that display the contents of an RSS feed in an easy to read format. Both Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2 include a built-in feed reader that will display an RSS feed in an easy to view format. For other browsers we have included a CSS and XSL Stylesheet to format the display of the RSS Feed for browsers that are capable of utilising this feature.

Once you have an RSS reader you simply click the icon or a link to the RSS feed and paste it into your RSS reader. Some readers will auto detect the precense of an RSS feed on a website and you can optionally choose to subscribe. The RSS Feed will be auto-detected if you use one of these browsers:

  • Internet Explorer 7 (or higher)
  • Firefox 2 (or higher)
  • Opera 9 (or higher)
  • Safari 3 (or higher)
  • Netscape 9 (or higher)
