Welbeck RSS Feed (December 2010)

Welbeck DSFC is pleased to announce the immediate availability of a new feature on its website. This new feature provides an RSS headline feed of the most recent articles added to our website. Every time an article is added to our "Whats Happening at Welbeck" page our RSS feed will be instantly updated, if you subscribe to our RSS feed via a "RSS Reader" you will then be notified of the new article without having to regularly visit our website to manually check for updates.
What are RSS Feeds?
RSS is a technology that is used by millions of web users around the world to keep track of their favourite websites, When combined with an RSS reader you will be "Fed" recent website updates, this saves you having to manually check our website to see if there have been any updates.
How do I Use RSS Feeds?
In general, the first thing you need is something called a news reader. This is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added. There are many different versions of such software…
- Most common web browsing software will allow you to read or subscribe to a news feed and many will highlight (either on the address bar) or via a "Feed" icon that the site has an RSS Feed.
- Most modern Smart Phones have either a RSS reader built in, or have applications available for download.
- Many recent E-Mail clients have an RSS Reader included with them
Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is to point it to the Welbeck DSFC RSS Feed (http://www.dsfc.ac.uk/rss/rss.xml). This exact method of performing this task will depend on the software you are using but most are very self explanatory and require very little setup.
Most modern browsers, including Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer and Safari, automatically check for feeds for you when you visit a website, and display the orange RSS icon when they find one. This can make subscribing to feeds much easier.
