RSS INFORMATION

What is RSS?

• RSS -- Really Simple Syndication
• Subscribing to an RSS feed is an easy way to keep up with news and information.
• Instead of having to visit a website frequently, the information is conveniently updated and available at all times - all in one place.

How to subscribe

• Look for the RSS icon and simply click on it to subcribe to the feed.
• If a page with an RSS feed is detected by your computer, the RSS icon will light up. Look on your toolbar to see it. In Firefox, the RSS symbol appears in the URL (address) box.

Subscribe where?

• Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox support RSS feeds.
• Firefox's Live Bookmarks are not as good as the Sage feeder that Firefox supports. Sage is a free add-on to Firefox that is very nice. You can get it here. http://sage.mozdev.org/
• Opera and Apple's Safari both support feed readers as do Google and Yahoo.
• Here's a list of feed aggregators from Wikipedia.
