An RSS feed is a special kind of
web page which modern browsers (eg Internet Explorer 7
and Mozilla Firefox 2)
can use to automatically update information streams. You could consider
it as a "self-updating favourite"
If your copy of Internet Explorer
shows this
symbol on the toolbar, then you can subscribe to feeds. Other browsers
show the symbol elsewhere
(Firefox shows it in the address bar, but
only when there's a feed on the page)
If you subscribe to one of these
feeds, your browser will automatically seek and display links to
newly posted information. In other words, we can notify you of items
and events without you having to go to the website and look for
them.
Unfortunately, older browser versions
may only dislplay the page code, which means that it's time for
you to upgrade if you want to benefit from this new service.
