What is RSS?
Rich Site Summary (RSS), or Real Simple Syndication, is an XML–based format for content distribution in real time. Choose Your News Natural Resource Canada's Web site offers you numerous RSS news feeds. Each news item includes the headline or title, a summary of the news article and a link to the full text document found on the site. Instructions on adding a news feed to your News Reader or aggregator
- Using your mouse right click on the XML orange graphic.
- In the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, select "Copy Shortcut." In Netscape and Firefox browsers, click on "Copy Link Location" from the pop-up menu that appears.
- Launch your news aggregator or news reader application and paste the news feed URL into an "add new feed" window. (Detailed instructions on how to add news feeds are included in the news reader application that you choose.)
- When news items are published by Natural Resources Canada, your news reader/aggregator will let you know through a small pop-up window or other alert device. If you close your news reader/aggregator, you will not be advised of updates until the next time you open it.
- If after reading a summary you want to view the full text, simply link to the full text document found on the Web site.
- Unlike e-mail subscriptions, you are not required to provide personal information or an e-mail address to benefit from receiving news from Natural Resource Canada's site.
Why use RSS? There are a number of benefits to using RSS, including:
- You select what news you want. RSS allows you to select the type of news and information you receive from Web sites.
- You determine when you get your news. Once you download your news reader, you can customize it to retrieve the news every five minutes, or every hour, depending on how you want it.
- Decrease spam. Because RSS requires you to download a news reader, you aren't subscribing to e-mail lists, which can increase your risk of getting unsolicited (spam) e-mail.
News aggregators / News readers There are various RSS news aggregators / news readers available for free download or for purchase on the Internet, including the following: More on RSS For more details on RSS, try this useful FAQ or the RSS specification.
