What are RSS Feeds?

RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication' and allows you to see when websites have added new content as soon as it is published. Commonly know as 'feeds' they can be aggregated into a single location (feed reader) of your choice so you are able to view updates without the need to visit the website of the content provider.

How do I use feeds?

You will need to use a program known as a feed reader, news reader or RSS reader. There are many types and versions available. Some are browser based, others are downloadable applications or addons to other applications (e.g. Firefox Sage).

I've got a reader, now what?

Once you have selected a news reader all you have to do is choose which content you would like it to receive, then refer to the readers documentation for the process to subscribe to feeds. Generally it will be a simple matter of typing in an appropriate address (e.g http://www.allpattaya.com/rss_businesses.php), clicking on the link itself and choosing subscribe, or dragging and dropping the rss icon onto the reader.

Using feeds on your site

If you run your own website, you can display the latest headlines and updates from other websites on your own site using RSS.
