What are RSS feeds?
RSS(Really Simple Syndication) allows you to see when sites from all over the internet have added new content. You can get the latest headlines and articles (or even audio files, photographs or video) in one place, as soon as they are published, without having to remember to visit each site every day.
How to use RSS feeds?
RSS feeds can be used by using software that will allow you to read and then if you choose to, subscribe to the feed. By subscribing to the feed alerts you will be automatically updated of the latest news coming from that source. These software packages are called News readers and some of the best ones are free.
Most modern browsers have RSS support built in to them, these include:
- Internet Explorer 8
- Internet Explorer 7
- Firefox
If you are using one of these please refer to your browsers documentation on using RSS news feeds.
