The TPAS RSS feeds allow you to see when we have added new News
items and Press Releases to the site. You can get our latest
content in one place, as soon as its published, without needing to
visit the TPAS website.
There is some disagreement as to what RSS stands for, but most
people plump for 'Really Simple Syndication'. Essentially, the
feeds themselves are just web pages, designed to be read by
computers rather than people.
How do I start using RSS feeds?
Generally, the first thing you need is a news reader. This is a
piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new
articles that have been added. There are many different versions,
some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are
downloadable applications.
Browser-based news readers let you catch up with your RSS feed
subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications
let you store them on your main computer, in the same way that you
either download your e-mail using Outlook, or keep it on a
web-based service like Hotmail.
Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is to
decide what content you want it to receive. For example, if you
would like the latest TPAS news stories, just visit the TPAS News
section and you will notice an orange button on the right hand
side, below the latest article list
.
If you click this button you can subscribe to the feed in
various ways, including by dragging the URL of the feed into your
news reader or by cutting and pasting the same URL into a new feed
in your news reader.
