What is RSS?

RSS is an XML-based technology designed to summarize and index publications posted on the Web into a customized format that includes a title, a concise description of an article, and a URL link. With RSS, users can subscribe to specific news feeds to monitor lists of publications as they are updated. Users may then skim titles and descriptions of articles and choose to ignore the information, read a summary, or view the original source document via the URL link.

To read RSS files and subscribe to news feeds, a user must install newsreader software—also known as a news aggregator—which is an application that monitors websites that contain RSS files. A newsreader alerts users when new content is detected, and it tracks read and unread content. Once a user adds an RSS site to his or her list of news feeds, the information appears at specified times (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly) within the window of the newsreader.

Requirements for Receiving RSS Feeds

To receive RSS feeds, you need an RSS newsreader. You then subscribe to the website from which you want to receive content, and the information will be delivered automatically to your RSS newsreader. Note that most modern web browsers have integrated RSS newsreaders (IE 7/IE 8 and Firefox 3) but Internet Explorer 6 and earlier do not have integrated RSS newsreaders and you will need to obtain, install and configure a stand-alone or web-based RSS newsreader.

From Firefox

Subscribing to feeds using Live Bookmarks

Firefox lets you subscribe to feeds using "Live Bookmarks". Your default Firefox bookmarks include one such web feed, the "Latest Headlines" feed, as shown in the screen capture here.

Firefox 3

You can choose different options for subscribing to web feeds, including "Add Live Bookmarks in Firefox", from "Tools -> Options -> Applications", by clicking on "Web Feed" in the list of content types and choosing an option from the drop-down menu.

Firefox 2

You can choose different options for subscribing to web feeds, including "Live Bookmarks", based on your selections under "Tools -> Options -> Feeds":

  • Show me a preview and ask me which Feed Reader to use. If this option is selected, you will be presented with a preview of the feed content and a choice of using "Live Bookmarks", some web-based readers or your own application.
  • Subscribe to the feed using: Select this option and choose "Live Bookmarks" if you always want to subscribe to feeds using "Live Bookmarks".

How to add a Live Bookmark

When you are on a web page where a web feed is available:

  1. Click the web feed icon RSS at the right side of the Location Bar (you may need to select a title - some sites have more than one).
  2. If you have not previously set an automatic action to subscribe to feeds, set "Subscribe to this feed using" to "Live Bookmarks" and click "Subscribe Now"
  3. The "Add Live Bookmark" dialog will appear. Modify the name and "Create in" location, if you wish.
  4. Click "OK".

If a site doesn't display the icon in the Firefox Location Bar, it may still have an available feed. If you see a small orange icon with "RSS", "RDF" "XML" or "Atom" on the web page, then that icon will link to the feed. In Firefox 2 and above, you may be able to simply click the web feed link in the webpage to subscribe to the feed; otherwise, to manually add the feed as a Live Bookmark, follow these directions:

Manually adding a Live Bookmark

Context-click (right-click) the "RSS", "RDF", "XML" or "Atom" icon that links to the web feed and select "Copy Link Location", then proceed as follows:

Firefox 3
  1. Paste (or type in) the URL for the web feed into the Firefox Location Bar (address bar)
  2. Click the "Go" arrow (or press the "Enter" key).
  3. Subscribe to the feed using Live Bookmarks as explained above.
Firefox 2

Use the above instructions or add a new Live Bookmark using the Bookmarks Manager, as follows:

Firefox 2 and below:

  1. Go to "Bookmarks -> Organize (or Manage) Bookmarks to open the Bookmarks Manager
  2. Click "File -> New Live Bookmark".
  3. Type in a name and type or paste in the feed location you copied earlier.
