Really Simple Syndication |
RSS originally stood for Rich Site Summary, but as the language behind it was improved it was renamed to Really Simple Syndication, which makes more sense: a simple way for web sites to syndicate content. An RSS page on a web site is often referred to as its "RSS Feed", "web feed" or "news feed".
GEUS' RSS feed has the address: http://www.geus.dk/nyt1_uk.xml
To access a RSS-feed please
copy
and
paste
the address in a
RSS-reader (client programme)
or make a "live bookmark" in Firefox.
Right click the icon
, copy the link-address and paste into your RSS-programme.
Some RSS-clients:
- NetNewsWire Lite (Mac OS X)
- Feedreader (Windows)
- AmphetaDesk (Linux, Windows, Mac and others)
How
Firefox
employs RSS
It's simple; just look for the orange icon
in the corner of your Firefox window. If this icon appears, the site you are browsing supports Live Bookmarks!
To have Firefox watch the web site left-click the icon and select the title you are interested in - some sites have more than one. This will bring up the familiar "Add Bookmarks" dialogue. Select "OK", and you will see the Live Bookmark displayed in your Bookmarks menu. Under this entry all of the articles for that site will be displayed. Simple!
