RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication".
Put plainly, it allows you to identify the content you
like and have it delivered directly to you.
It takes the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by showing
you the very latest information that you are interested
in.
At the moment, we are the first english media and news
company in the Canary islands to offer this, and while
it is still in development, we hope to have more things
available for RSS soon.
How
do I start using RSS feeds?
In general, the first thing you need is something called
a news reader. There are many different versions, some
of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which
are downloadable applications. 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. You will notice
an orange RSS button on the right hand side of the page
beneath the "Top Canaties Stories".
The button looks like this:
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.
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.
How
do I get a News Reader?
There is a range of different news readers available
and new versions are appearing all the time.
Different news readers work on different operating
systems, so you will need to take this into account
when you make your choice.
We have put a selection on the menu to the right of
this page.
