About RSS feeds
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. Also referred to
as news feeds, RSS feeds provide a slimmed down version of a
section of a website that can be viewed using a feed reader without
having to visit the website.
RSS is useful for viewing frequently updated content such as
news items and events. An RSS feed generally consists of the item
headline, a short summary of the item and a link back to the
complete news item on the website that the feed originated
from.
About feed readers
RSS feed readers (or aggregators) are applications that display
feeds from websites. They update frequently to display the latest
version of the feed and can display feeds from a number of
different websites. This provides a quick way to view a variety of
news, events and articles from the websites you are interested in
all in the same place.
Feed readers are built in to most web browsers, email applications
such as Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird, and some portal websites
including Google, Yahoo and Microsoft Live.
How to subscribe to an RSS feed
When a feed is available for a section of content on our
website, there will be a link to this page beside the relevant
content, highlighted by an orange RSS icon. From this page, find
the feed you are interested in (our feeds are listed above) then
copy and paste the link of the feed into your feed reader, or drag
it to your reader to subscribe. The subscription method may
vary depending on the application you use so it is advisable to
check the help section of your feed reader application for
specific instructions.
Some browsers display the orange RSS icon in the browser tool
bar when they find a feed on the page you are viewing. Clicking on
this will allow you to view the feed and provide further
instructions on how to subscribe.
RSS feeds from a website can also be displayed on other websites
as headlines. Allerdale Borough Council supplies a variety of
information in RSS XML feed format which can be used in this way.
This service can be used by individuals and organisations
for non-profit making purposes. Use of the above feeds is on the
basis that the text content is presented unchanged from that
contained in the RSS XML feed.
