How to use RSS

Viewing Feeds in a Personal RSS Reader 

A feed reader is an application known as an aggregator or news aggregator that retrieves syndicated content that is supplied in the form of a web feed (usually in the formats of RSS, Atom or javascript formats). RSS readers allow you to display and subscribe to the RSS feeds you want. These readers can either be Standalone or Plug-in.

• Standalone readers are applications that run in the
  background on your desktop and automatically update your
  subscribed feeds.
• Plug-in readers work within one of your existing programs
  such as Microsoft Outlook, Firefox or Internet Explorer.

There are a variety of RSS readers available by performing a search using a popular search engine.

Subscribing to an RSS Feed

To subscribe to Hale Street Link project information, right click on one of the channels with the icon, and select "Copy Shortcut" "Copy Link Location" to copy the location (URL) of the service. Paste this location into the appropriate channel of your news reader by following the instructions within that application.

Another method is to click on a feed link to open in a new window, select the URL in the address bar and copy and paste it into your feed reader.

Reading Articles

Once you have subscribed to the RSS feeds that you want, your RSS reader will automatically update with the latest news.

The feed reader will present you with easy-to-browse headlines and short summaries, including links to the full article. You can see what's new, and read only the articles that interest you.
