About RSS

RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication'; it's a technology that lets you have the latest information delivered directly to you...

Our RSS documents, called 'feeds' contains a summary of information from our website, making it possible for you to keep up with our information in an automated manner, which is easier than having to check back manually. In order to receive RSS feeds from us you will need a small piece of software called an 'RSS reader' or 'aggregator' and you'll need to 'subscribe' to our RSS service.

There are a number of different feed readers available, many are free and can be accessed using your web browser (others are downloadable applications). With a little bit of searching, you should be able to find a reader which appeals to you. Most up to date web browsers already support RSS directly. These include Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2, Opera 8.5, Netscape 8 and Safari 1.2. There are also RSS specfic browsers, such as - Deepnet Explorer and Maxthon.

Once you have a reader in place you'll need to add/'subscribe to' our feed; the method for doing this varies depending on the reader you are using. However, you can subscribe to the RSS feeds on this site by either dragging or cutting and pasting the URL of the RSS feed into your reader. If you are using one of the web based readers, such as NewsGator or My Yahoo you can simply click on the appropriate link to add it to your feed.
