What is RSS? RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a simple way to
keep up to date with the latest news on a web site without
actually having to visit the web site. You simply use an RSS
reader (in most cases available free of charge), which you
install onto your PC or Mac. The RSS reader will automatically
download the latest news from your favourite selected web sites.
So you can keep up to date easily, and instantly. Getting
started with RSS Firstly, you need an RSS reader for your PC or
Mac. There are many different readers out there - have a look at
the Google list here, where there are dozens listed. Some free
web browsers, such as Opera, actually have an RSS reader built
into the browser. Once you have downloaded and installed an RSS
reader, copy the link at the bottom of the News Homepage to copy
into your RSS reader. It looks like this: The BBC have excellent
support for RSS, including some good resources and information.
All their news is published by category - View the BBC's RSS
