Model Rail Forum News Feed
What is RSS?
RSS is an easy way for you to keep updated automatically on websites you like. Instead of you having to go to websites to see if they've written a new article or feature, you can use RSS (which stands for Really Simple Syndication) to get them to tell you every time they have something new. A RSS file is a XML (Xtended Markup Language) file that is read through a special reader or add-on to your browser.
Model Rail Forum offers RSS feeds (or channels) for the News section. We might increase the scope of this content if there is a demand.
How can I make use of RSS?
In general you need to get hold of a program called a News Reader. This displays RSS information feeds from your chosen websites on your computer.
How do I get a News Reader?
There are a range of different News Readers available; search Google to find links to the most popular RSS products, many of which are free to install. Check out the Firefox browser extension RSS reader.
Different News Readers work on different operating systems, so you will need to take this into account when you make your choice.
