More About RSS Feeds

What is RSS?

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an XML-based format for distributing content. Put simply, it allows you to subscribe to content on dozens of websites and have it delivered directly to you on one page, via your RSS feed reader.

If you notice a little orange button such as: rss icon, RSS icon , xml iconrss icon they are links to a web feed.

To select the feed, right-click on the icon, select 'Copy shortcut' then paste into your feed reader.

What is a feed reader?

To read RSS feeds, you need a software program called a feed reader, also known as a newsreader or an aggregator. This reader regularly collects content from various websites and provides it to you in a simple form, similar to your email inbox. 

There are many newsreaders available in a variety of formats. Some can be accessed using a web browser, others are downloadable applications. All allow you to display and add the RSS feeds you want.

How do I start receiving RSS feeds?

You need to either install a feed reader on your computer or choose to use one of the web-based feed reader services. Full instructions on how to set up either kind of feed reader can be found on individual feed reader websites. Some commonly used feed readers include:

Web

Windows
