RSS

To sign up to our RSS news feeds, click on the orange icon on the top right of any page on this site.

An RSS (Really Simple Syndication) news feed allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest headlines and video in one place, as soon as it’s published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.

RSS feeds are read using news reader software. There are different versions about, and you will need to choose one that works for your computer.

Some are accessed using a browser (Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, Google, My Yahoo!, Microsoft Live), and some of which are downloadable applications (Newz Crawler, FeedDemon, Awasu). 

Browser-based news readers let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer (you can log in to the service just like logging into a Hotmail or Yahoo email account), whereas downloadable applications let you store them on your main computer, in the same way that you download your e-mail using Outlook.

When you have chosen your news reader, you can then subscribe to any RSS feed to any website by clicking on the orange button and copying and pasting the URL of that feed into your news reader.
