To make it easier for you to keep up on what is new or has been changed/updated on our website, we have enabled RSS feeds for various sections.

 

First, we have added a Recent Updates section to our website, which will allow you to subscribe to posts via RSS feeds.

 

We have also updated our Articles section, which like the Recent Updates section, will allow you to subscribe to posts via RSS.

 

Our News section remains as it has always been and also allows for RSS subscription.

 

What is RSS you may be asking yourself and how does it benefit me? RSS or Rich Site Summary, is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related websites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS feed to whoever wants it.

 

RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site's email newsletter. The number of sites offering RSS feeds is growing rapidly and includes big names like Yahoo News.

 

Feed Reader or News Aggregator software allow you to grab the RSS feeds from various sites and display them for you to read and use.

A variety of RSS Readers are available for different platforms. Some popular feed readers include Amphetadesk (Windows, Linux, Mac), FeedReader (Windows), and NewsGator (Windows - integrates with Outlook). There are also a number of web-based feed readers available. My Yahoo, Bloglines, and Google Reader are popular web-based feed readers.

Once you have your Feed Reader, it is a matter of finding sites that syndicate content and adding their RSS feed to the list of feeds your Feed Reader checks. Many sites display a small icon with the acronyms RSS, XML, or RDF to let you know a feed is available.

 

This is perfect for someone on the go or just really busy with everyday tasks and responsibilities. It also is great for those not able to check other media while at work or on certain platforms, now you can get notified on what you missed out on, so you can stay up to date on what is new.
