What is an RSS news feed?
RSS is otherwise known as Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary.
RSS is an easy way of delivering website content straight to you as soon as it is available. It helps you save time by automatically letting you know when there’s an update of information from our website. Some other websites offer the same service.
The RSS news feed goes straight to your computer desktop as text and links, which will take you to the latest publication of your choice.
The RSS icon is an orange box with two white curved lines and a white dot in the bottom left-hand corner. Look out for this icon on our website.
To get started, you will need a news reader. Please go to the next section for details.
