What is RSS?

RSS (which stands for Really Simple Syndication) is convenient way for you to view new article titles or headlines from a wide variety of sources. It is a format that websites use to syndicate their content to a wide audience, similar to syndicated columns in a newspaper. It is “live feed” displayed as a list of headlines and sources. On your computer screen you can click the article title and you can read the full text.

This is an example of how RSS feeds show up on My Yahoo (...and it includes our feeds).


 

Why get a RSS feed?

There are several big advantages of RSS. It is a live feed - whenever the source changes (news, articles, Best of the New, et.al.) it automatically shows up on your personal page. This is great if you want to monitor the latests news or the best of our new fabric.

It also allows you to sign up for feeds that relate to your interests. You select what you want to monitor (like programming your TV for only those channels that interest you).

AND... you avoid the spam the comes with the email method of getting information.
 

How do I read a RSS feed?

To view the news feeds you can go to a website with personal pages such as My Yahoo! or My MSN or you can install a small program (called a newsreader or news aggregator) on your computer. Some of the more popular readers can be found here.

AOL is also developing a My AOL rss reader.

If you use My Yahoo! or My MSN, it is easy to add us to your page. You can design your page for layout and select the content. Click the "Add content" button and in the Search (or Find) Content window, enter ReproductionFabrics.
