If you have never heard about RSS, or have heard about it but
never used it, here's some information for you to help get you
started.
RSS stands for Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication, depending on
whom you ask. The dual acronym is really the most complicated thing about
it. RSS is a simple way to deliver summaries of frequently changing Web content.
By plugging a link into an RSS reader, you can retrieve the newest content
offerings for your favorite Web sites while saving the time it takes to actually
visit each site or cull through your burgeoning list of bookmarks on a daily
basis.
You can use SONC's RSS feed in two ways: by putting our RSS feed on your organization's
Web site or by using an RSS aggregator (also known as feed readers or newsreaders).
Personalized feed readers , probably the most common way to use RSS, allow
you to grab RSS feeds from various sites and display them in plain text .
There are many feed readers available
for various platforms. Among the top picks listed on Blogspace.com are NetNewsWire for
Mac OS X, SharpReader for Windows,
and Straw for Linux. For
browser based viewing try Google Reader.
Once you have selected a feed reader, you can find sites that
syndicates content -- often indicated by a small icon with the
acronyms RSS, XML, or RDF. Then, you just add their RSS feed
to the list of feeds that your aggregator checks.
Here are step by step instructions on
adding SONC's RSS feed to your feed reader:
- Click on our feed link.
- Copy the URL for that page
- Open your feed reader
- Within your feed reader, choose the option to add a new
feed
- Paste the URL into the appropriate field and submit
- Enjoy the latest news about Special Olympics
