Feeds allow you to quickly and easily see when our content has
been updated. You can get the latest news, announcements and
special offers, as soon as they are published, without having to
visit the site.
Feeds are also known as RSS which stands for 'Really Simple
Syndication'. In essence, the feeds themselves are just web pages,
designed to be read by computers rather than people.
How do I start using feeds?
In general, the first thing you need is something called a news
reader. This is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets
you read any new articles that have been added. There are many
different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and
some of which are downloadable applications.
Browser-based news readers let you catch up with your RSS feed
subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications
let you store them on your main computer, in the same way that you
either download your e-mail using Outlook, or keep it on a
web-based service like Hotmail.
Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is to
decide what content you want it to receive.
