What is RSS
With the internet consisting of billions of web pages, finding,
and keeping up to date with the information you want can be
a difficult. Wouldn't it be better to have the latest news,
information and features delivered directly to you, rather
than clicking from site to site? Well now you can, thanks
to a very clever service, RSS.
RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication'. It allows you
to subscribe to a "feed" containing the content
you want. Subscibing is as easy as pointing a newsreader at
a link. You don't have to submit your name, email address
or any other personal information. Once subscribed, all of
the content you like will be delivered directly to your newsreader.
It takes the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by showing
you the very latest information that you are interested in.

How do I start using RSS feeds?
In general, the first thing you need is something called a
newsreader. Some browsers, including Firefox,
Opera
and Safari,
have functionality which automatically picks up RSS feeds
for you. For more details on these, please check their websites.
Here are a list of popular newsreaders that you can download.
Windows
Newz
Crawler
FeedDemon
Awasu
Mac OS X
Newsfire
NetNewsWire
Web
Bloglines
My Yahoo!
NewsGator
All allow you to display and subscribe to the RSS feeds you
want.
Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is
to decide what content you want. For example, if you would
like upcoming Dubln Events, simply visit the Events section
and you will notice an orange RSS button on the left hand
side. If you click on the button you can subscribe to the
feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL of the
RSS feed into your news reader or by cutting and pasting the
same URL into a new feed in your news reader.
