What is an RSS Feed?
RSS is a pretty geeky name
with a simple idea behind it.
(Some people say it means "Rich Site Summary"
and some say it is "Really Simple Syndication".
You can even think of it as "Really Silly Students".
It is up to you whichever to choose.)
In a nutshell, RSS lets you easily keep track
of the changes on allResearchers.com
as well as any other site on the Internet that supports RSS.
How do I use RSS Feeds?
To read an RSS feed, you need a "news reader"
that can read the RSS news provided by a site.
There are many different types of news readers
available: web-based and as downloadable
software, paid and free. You can
try out different ones to see which one suits
you best. Here are some popular ones. There are
many, many more out there, though.
For Windows:
Newz Crawler
and
Feed Demon
For Mac OS X:
Newsfire
and
NetNewsWire
Web-based:
Bloglines
and
My Yahoo!
You can also have a look at a good explanation of RSS feeds
on the BBC website.
Or just
do a search on Google
to get more info.

For Webmasters
RSS feeds provide a good way of displaying our
content on your website with the minimum of effort.
By using the raw RSS feed as part of a server-side script,
it is possible to tightly integrate our content
with your own data,
allowing for unlimited customisation.
Happy RSS Feeding!
