What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication -- an easy way to distribute and receive regularly updated news and other web content. Rather than repeatedly checking a web site to see what might be new, RSS allows individuals to subscribe to have the latest content delivered automatically and immediately.
Why Subscribe?
With UBC RSS Feeds, you can:
- Gain easy access to the most recent UBC news, job postings, and more
- View content according to the categories that most interest you
- Determine when you receive the latest updates
- Easily unsubscribe at any time
How Do I Subscribe?
Step 1. Open Your RSS Reader
A wide variety of news readers can be downloaded for free. Some of these include:
- FeedReader (stand alone RSS Reader)
- Thunderbird (stand alone e-mail client with built in RSS Reader)
- Sage (extension for the FireFox browser)
- Attensa (extension for Microsoft Outlook)
- Bloglines (web-based news aggregator)
- Safari (web browser with built-in feed reader)
- Opera (web browser with built-in feed reader)
Step 2. Locate the URL (web Address) of the RSS Feed
These are typically linked from an RSS or XML badge that, for example,
might look like this:
Step 3. Copy the URL and Add the New Feed to Your RSS Reader
Detailed instructions on how to add news feeds can usually be found in the news reader's documentation or help files. In general, your RSS reader will usually display an "add feed" button and you will be asked to paste the URL for the RSS feed to which you wish to subscribe. (Some readers will allow you to add a feed by simply clicking on the feed link or badge.)
Many RSS readers will allow you to edit settings such as when to check for new updates and how to display the content.
When your RSS reader checks for new updates, your view of the feed will only be updated when the feed contains new content.
