What is a RSS |
|
|
RSS, "Really Simple Syndication", is a popular means of sharing content without requiring to constantly visiting a Web site to see what’s new. RSS feeds contain headlines and hyperlinks to longer articles or Web pages. An RSS document—also called a ""feed", Web feed or ""channel"—is used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts and contain either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for you to keep up with your favorite web sites in an automated manner that is much easier than checking them manually.

How do I start using RSS feeds? |
|
| |
The first thing you need is something called a News Reader (also known as a News Aggregator). This item will download and display RSS feeds for you. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications. All of them allow you to display and subscribe to the RSS feeds you want.

After you have chosen a News Reader, you have to decide what content you want. For example, if you would like the latest News from Cancun, you simply click on buttom below.
When you click on the button, you can subscribe to the feed in many ways, including by dragging the URL of the RSS feed into your News Reader or by cutting and pasting the same URL into a new feed or channel in your News Reader.
Some browsers (Mozilla Firefox, Netscape 8, Opera and Safari RSS) have a function, which automatically pick up RSS feeds for you. For more details about RSS, please check their websites.
