What is an RSS feed
From Media UK's The Knowledge. Last update: 10:41, 28 May 2005 by James Cridland.
An RSS feed is a computer file that you can use in a variety of ways:
- to display news headlines from another site on yours
- to enable you to read updates quickly using a newsreader program
- to enable headlines from more than one site to appear on the same screen
Media UK has a few RSS feeds of our own, and also links (http://www.mediauk.com/directory/?rss=yes) to media organisation RSS feeds where they exist using the Media UK robots.
Watch for the orange RSS button throughout the site.
See more information on RSS in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_%28file_format%29).
