Reading Our RSS Feed

What is an RSS feed?
How do you know if a website has updated information? One way is to check it regularly for new content; another way is to let the website automatically provide you with links to this content. This can be done with RSS feeds. An RSS ("Really Simple Syndication") feed allows a website to alert you as soon as new or updated content has been added.

Feeds can be read by special programs such as Google Reader, a popular and free web-based reader. But current web browsers all have built-in RSS capability, making them an easy way to access RSS feeds if you are new to the technology. Instructions follow below for Firefox and for Internet Explorer; instructions for Opera and for Safari are available at their respective websites.
Reading an RSS Feed with Firefox
1. Click the orange RSS icon icon in the navigation bar to the left.
2. In the screen that appears, click "Subscribe Now" (the other options do not need to be changed).
3. From the "Add Live Bookmark" dialog box that appears ("Live Bookmarks" is Firefox's term for RSS feeds), click "Add" (the other options do not need to be altered).
4. A new "Kuyers Institute RSS" bookmark appears, with links that automatically appear whenever new information is added to the website.
5. Check this bookmark periodically to see if any new links have been added. To access the new content, simply click the relevant link.
