 RSS Help
What Is RSS?
RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication, is an easy way to keep up with your favorite
news and information. An RSS feed contains headlines, summaries and links to full articles. If
you click an RSS link, you will see XML (or eXtensible Markup Language) code in your browser.
This is to be expected, since you do not view RSS content through a browser. You view the
headlines through an RSS news reader (also called an RSS aggregator).
What Are RSS Readers?
RSS news readers are small software programs that aggregate RSS feeds and display the story
information. They allow you to scan headlines from hundreds of news sources in a central
location.
Where Can I Get An RSS Reader?
A wide range of RSS readers can be easily downloaded from the web. Some readers are web-based
while others require you to download a small software program onto your desktop. Some are part
of your Web browser Most are free to use. Below are some recommendations.
Windows:
Mac OS X
Web
How Do I Use These Feeds?
The first step, as described above, is to choose an RSS reader. Each reader has a slightly
different way of adding a new feed (also called a "channel"). In most cases,
here's how it works:
- Click the "RSS" link on the right, under the "Miscellaneous" heading.
- From your browser, copy the URL that appears in your Address Bar. For example, the URL you would copy for our main feed would be: http://www.investorsunited.com/rss/index.xml
- Paste that URL into the 'Add New Channel' section of the reader. You should be all set! The RSS feed will start to display and regularly update the headlines for you.
