RSS Feed

[admin]

The Message Board is now available through RSS. This page is a brief summary of RSS, what it does and how you can use it.

What is RSS?
RSS has several meanings: Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary, and RDF Site Summary where RDF in turn stands for Resource Data Framework. In any case it is a method of summarizing the latest messages and information from a website in a lightweight form that can be easily read by any of a number of news readers or news aggregators. The idea is to give users the ability to quickly obtain the latest news and updates from a site in a headline or news digest format.

What do I need to use the RSS feed?
To use our RSS feed, you need a feed reader or news aggregator installed on your computer. These are applications that can be set to read the feeds on a recurring basis, generally once an hour or so. Most browsers have a feed reader built in and you simply need to subscribe.

Bloglines is a FREE online service that helps you subscribe to and manage lots of web information, such as news feeds, weblogs and audio. Here is a list of feed readers and news aggregators from the Open Directory Project. And, here is another list of feed readers and news aggregators.

Once you have a feed reader or news aggregator, you simply add the feed addresses to the list of feeds in the reader. The installation instructions for the readers will help you with that.
