What are News Feeds?

News feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest headlines and information in one place, as soon as its published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.

Feeds are also known as RSS. The feeds themselves are just web pages, designed to be read by computers rather than people.

How do I start using 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, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications.

Browser-based news readers let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable programs let you store them on your main computer, in the same way that you either download your e-mail using Outlook, or keep it on a web-based service like Hotmail or Googlemail.

Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want it to receive. For example, if you would like the latest events, simply visit the events section and you will notice an orange RSS button.
If you have Firefox or Internet Explorer 7 you can click on the RSS button and then choose to subscribe or add the feed as a "live bookmark" (one which updates itself in your browser without you having to re-visit the site you took the feed from).
