The [Rivertown website][Rivertown] provides support for RSS news feeds for all its main news page and the article categories.
What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and is used to compile a list of posts from a website's database, which provides customised 'news feeds' or notifications which users of a website can view in order to quickly see what is new on a site, without actually visiting the site itself. Subscribing to an RSS feed means you can be notified of the most recent posts, events and articles via a desktop application of your choice. Click [here][RSS info] for more technical info on RSS.
Viewing RSS Feeds
There are several ways to view RSS feeds. Some web browsers and e-mail clients support it, such as:
- [Opera browser's][Opera] [M2 e-mail client][Opera M2];
- [Mozilla Thunderbird][Thunderbird] e-mail client via the [ForumZilla][] extension;
- MS Outlook, using News Gator;
- [Mozilla Firefox][Firefox].
You can also read RSS feeds in separate applications, such as [Serence Klipfolio][Klipfolio]. You'll need the [Klipfolio Feed Viewer][] to view RSS feeds. Plus, I'm sure there's loads more RSS readers out there.
Our feeds
Our main page feed:
This feed contains everything that is posted to the front page of the site.
Also, each category comes with its own RSS feed. For example, click on the Magazine section, and you will see an orange XML icon like this:
That icon links directly to the feed for the category you are currently viewing. Depending on what you use to read RSS, copying that link into your RSS application will allow you to read items in that category.
