What is an RSS Feed?
Instead of having to go to a website to check to see if there’s new content, RSS (Really Simple Syndication) collects the information for you and you only have to check your feed reader. When there’s new content on CI, it appears in your reader alongside any other site feeds you subscribe to. You’ll never miss any new stories and you’ll save time that you would normally spend checking all of the websites you love.
What is a feed reader?
A feed reader (aka an RSS reader or news reader) is your virtual doorstep where the content from your subscriptions is delivered. Checking this one spot will tell you which of your favorite web sites have new content. Some popular web-based RSS readers:
Personalized homepages like My Yahoo!, Google Homepage and Netvibes will also allow you to read any RSS feed. Additionally, the ability to subscribe to RSS feeds is built into browsers like Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox and software like Microsoft Outlook 2007, Google Desktop gadgets and Microsoft Gadgets.
How do I subscribe to CI's feeds?
If you're using a feed reader, you can click on the subscribe buttons at the top of this page, which will take you to a page that will allow you to subscribe. Newer browsers like Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox make subscribing much easier by showing the RSS feed symbol either on a toolbar (IE7) or in the address bar (Firefox) which indicates that there's a feed available. Click on that symbol and it will subscribe to the feed using your favorite reader. If you're using other software that can read RSS feeds, you can click on the links to the feeds above, copy the address and paste it into the software's request for the feed's address.
