RSS
feeds explained
RSS stands for 'really simple
syndication', and is a code that can be read in
a free news reader (such as the desktop RSS reader
in Windows Vista, or the reader that is in Mozilla
Firefox), without having to visit each of the websites
that are releasing news and information on their
feeds. Essentially the RSS feeds are basic website
code that is designed to be read by a computer instead
of a person. When you are visiting a site with a
RSS feed, your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox,
Safari, etc) will display a bright orange RSS icon
when they discover a feed, and you can click on
that icon to subscribe to it.
If you are new to RSS or listening to podcasts,
and would like some further advice and help, with

feeds, and how are they designed to help you? |

| If
you subscribe to any of our RSS feeds, listed below, then
when your RSS reader (eg Google Reader). Pulls in any
newly posted information from the website feeds you have
subscribed to, without you having to spend the time to
visit them individually. In essence the RSS readers are
news aggregators, and you can scan down the list of news
in your reader, that may contain popular RSS feeds such
as the BBC News as well as any other feeds you have subscribed
to, and click on any news stories that catch your eye
without trawling through many websites. |

One
of the reasons that we use RSS feeds at Icicle,
is that they are also required for our podcasts,
so that iTunes can monitor when we have uploaded
new content. Click on the logo to see our podcast
page, or you can click on one of the links below
to subscribe to our podcasts direct through iTunes
or through the RSS feed.
