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 online tutorials, click
here. So why does Icicle
use RSS 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.
