Many people have a list of web pages where they would ideally like to know whether the content has changed lately. However it would be an impossible drain on our time to have to keep visiting all of those sites and playing "spot the changes". So why not have those sites come to you?
RSS feeds are a means whereby the various sites that have such a feature can literally come to you and let you know if there is something you might be interested in knowing about.
You need a feed reader.
Some free web-based facilities have the ability to assemble a custom web page containing information from your chosen feeds. These include Yahoo and Google. However although they will work with most feeds they won't work with all feeds - if you're curious and really want to know why not then that is explained at the bottom of this page.
Another way is to use a purpose built application such as Attensa River of News. Intec Infrastructure can supply this application if you wish. Attensa will successfully track RSS feeds including this one and keep you informed.
In most cases the Feed Reader wants to know the address of the RSS link. So in the browser, right-click on our RSS Feed link (the little orange rectangle with XML written in it), choose Copy Shortcut, then go to your reader and paste the shortcut in the appropriate place.
If you are using IE7 or later then this browser can subscribe directly to a link (I haven't tested whether it works with this particular link) but to do that you simply click on the orange rectangle with XML written in it and a page will open telling you about the feed and containing a link that you can click to subscribe to it.
THAT'S IT - JOB DONE. Thereafter the mountain will come to Mohamed.
If you'd like to know why some particular feeds don't work in Yahoo and Google but do work in Attensa then here's the answer.
Web-based feed readers need to get to the object of the feed to see what's changed. So that means that these servers which are outside of any firewall that you may be working from within need to get through that firewall in order to look at the feed and that is not permitted.
Now Attensa runs on your PC and so it is already inside the firewall and does not have that problem.
