What are RSS feeds?

Feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest information updates 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. There is some discussion as to what RSS stands for, but most people plump for 'Really Simple Syndication'. In essence, 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 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 readers let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications 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.

Once you have chosen a reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want it to receive. For example, if you would like the latest status information from LSA Technology, simply find the orange button above or on our home page, and click it and follow the instructions!

How do I get a reader?

There are a number of different readers available and new versions are appearing all the time.

Different readers work on different operating systems, so you will need to choose one that will work with your computer. Here is a selection to choose from, but there are many more:
