RSS News Feed (Really Simple Syndication)
 |
What is RSS?
In a world heaving under the weight of billions of web pages, keeping up to date with the information you want can be time-consuming.
Rather than clicking from site to site, you can now have the latest news and features delivered directly to you, thanks to RSS.
RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication'. Put plainly, it allows you to identify the content you like and have it delivered directly to you.
It takes the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by showing you the very latest information that you are interested in.
Not all websites currently provide RSS, but it is growing rapidly in popularity and many others, including the Guardian, New York Times and CNN do provide it.
How do I start using RSS feeds?
In general, the first thing you need is something called a news reader. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications. All allow you to display and subscribe to the RSS feeds you want.
Once you have chosen a news reader, you next decide what content you want. For example, for the latest Sustainable Shipping news stories - notice the feed icon to the right.
If you click on the button you can subscribe to the feed in various 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 in your news reader.
Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, have functionality which automatically picks up RSS feeds for you. For more details on these, you need to check their websites.
