What is RSS?
RSS feeds are a simple and effective way of keeping up-to-date with your favourite websites. Instead of having to visit individual sites to see if new content has been added, you can use RSS feeds to tell you when pages you're interested in have been updated. How do I make use of RSS?
To use RSS, you will need to obtain an RSS aggregator which allows you to collect and display feeds from your favourite websites in a single location on your computer. How do I get a news aggregator?
There are many different content aggregators available, most of which are applications that are downloaded and installed on your computer. The three types of aggregators are stand-alone programs; programs which work alongside your email application; and Web-based readers. Links to some of the more popular aggregators are listed on the right - please remember to select an aggregator which will work with your operating system.
How do I receive RSS feeds?
Setting up a feed differs from one aggregator to another and it usually involves copying the URL of the feed - which you can get from the address bar on your browser - and pasting it into a box which will be clearly signed-posted when you run the aggregator. Please consult your aggregator's help documentation for clarification.
