about RSS

What is an RSS web feed?
Web feeds allow you to see the latest news and product updates in an easy to view format. RSS is a simple method (no, honest, it is) for websites to share content with their users. Using feed reading software it is easy to keep up to date with selected website pages. Both the Firefox and Opera browsers have good, basic, feed readers.

How to use RSS feeds

You will need a reader such as feedreader (this link will take you to sourceforge.net and feedreader.). Alternatively both the Firefox and Opera browsers have good, simple feereaders.

Once you have a feed reader it is simply a matter of copying and pasting a link. Put the address of one of our web feeds into your reader, and it will display the latest headlines, each one with a synopsis and link that will take you to the page. Alternarively you can use a web service and read the feed in your web browser.

If you would like to see an RSS feed at work why not start by adding the BBC news feed to the terramar.co.uk feed reader.... (simply click "view rss feed", or add an alternative feed of your choice.)
