ONESTOPSURF RSS FEEDS EXPLAINED
Onestopsurf now offers a number of free RSS feeds to help keep you up to date
with the latest surfing news, features and updated content. Choose one of
our feeds from the right hand side
What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds provide news headlines, brief article
descriptions and links in an xml file that is automatically updated whenever
those headlines change. This allows you to receive notification of new content
in your own environment - in your browser, on your desktop, in your blog, in
your company's website or elsewhere.
How do I use an RSS feed
1. Via a News Reader
To view our RSS feeds on your computer, you will first need to acquire a News
Reader or News Aggregator. These programmes pull all your selected RSS feeds
into one place. Once you have a reader, all you have to do is: (1) click the
button for the feed you want, (2) copy the URL from the address bar, and (3)
paste it into your RSS application.
There are many news readers available on the web. Some can be downloaded for
free, or on a free trial, while others which offer more features or
customization charge. It is worth noting that some readers will work better on
different operating systems. A tip is to start with a web-based application and
work from there. See the links at the bottom of the page for a number of
options.
2. Via a web browser
A number of web browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, automatically
pick up RSS feeds. Check their homepages for details. This facility is not
currently available in Internet Explorer.
Mozilla Firefox browser - live bookmarks
The live bookmarks facility on the Mozilla Firefox browser allows you to view
constantly-updated headlines in your bookmarks menu. Click on the headline and
you will be taken to the relevant story or content on Onestopsurf. Click on
"Free download" on the
Mozilla homepage. You can sign up to the live bookmarks facility by
clicking on the symbol in the bottom right of your new browser.
