What are Bradley's RSS Feeds
Really Simple Syndication (RSS), is a way of publishing headlines, links, and article summaries from a Web site. By using a news reader, you can subscribe to "feeds" of particular interest and be notified when new content becomes available.You can read short article teasers or summaries before clicking through to a Web page that features the full story.
RSS readers also alert you when content has been added to the feeds that you have subscribed to, similar to how e-mail programs alert you when a new message has arrived.
How to use RSS
To get started, you will need an RSS news reader application. There are many different news readers available, many of which are free. Most are available as software that you download and install on your computer or mobile device such as Feedreader for windows, NewsMac for Macintosh OS X, and even Web program such as Bloglines. RSS functionality also comes built-in with the Mozilla Firefox browser.
Once you have your news reader, simply follow the instructions for your particular news reader to subscribe to the RSS content feeds you want. The exact procedure will vary depending upon the RSS reader you're using. But in general, once you're looking at a feed of interest, you can copy the URL, paste it into your RSS reader, and hit "Subscribe." For browser-based RSS readers, you can subscribe by adding the news RSS feed to a special folder in your bookmarks.
The University does not support or recommend any specific newsreader. You should review and select software that best fits your system and preferences.
Other uses for RSS
You can set your Web page up so that it is automatically updated by an RSS feed originating on another computer. You can use RSS to share content automatically between several computer systems and Web sites. For example, Bradley Web managers can use the RSS news feeds to add news to their department Web sites.
