1. What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and it is a very effective way of keeping up-to-date with the latest information on the our website. Rather than visit our site to find out if new content has been added, RSS will tell you when the new stories that you want are available by delivering them directly to you.
2. Getting started with RSS?
Generally, the first thing you need is a ready-made programme called a newsreader, which is no harder to use than email or web browsers. Most newsreaders are applications that are downloaded from the Web and installed on your computer.
There are many different types of newsreaders available for download (remember to select a newsreader that will work with your operating system):
Windows
* Newz Crawler
* FeedDemon
* Awasu
Mac OS X
* Newsfire
* NetNewsWire
If you don't want to download newsreader software, you can simply visit a website that acts as a reader such as www.feedster.com or my.yahoo.com
Finally, there are some browsers, including Internet Explorer Version 7.0, Firefox and Opera, which automatically detect RSS feeds for you and also allow you to "bookmark" them. More details are available on their websites.
3.How do I use RSS to get information?
Once you have installed a newsreader, then you can decide what content you want. If you would like the latest News, for instance, click the News link below.
