What is RSS?
Have you been seeing those little orange RSS or XML buttons around on the internet, and wondering what they are?
RSS (or Really Simple Syndication) is the great new way to get news feeds from the BBC or CNN, or just about anything else, including news on the latest films and DVD releases, your favourite band's tour updates...
It's like having your favourite parts of the internet come to you, with no need to go out and check for updates all the time. When you subscribe to a website with an RSS feed, you can keep up-to-date without constantly having to check the site.
How do I subscribe to Altered Art News?It couldn't be simpler! More recent versions of your web browser may already include an RSS reader. If this is the case you'll probably see a square orange button on your toolbar, or in the address bar. Just click on this button, or on the orange button you'll see in the left margin of most of the pages on this site. Otherwise...
Don't want to download new software?
If you don't already have an RSS reader included in your browser, you can use a web-based reader, like My Yahoo!, My MSN or iGoogle/Google Reader. You'll see a selection of buttons to enable you to do this in the left margin of most of the pages on this site. Just click on one of those buttons to add Altered Art News to your chosen reader.
If you don't have an account yet, you'll be given the chance to set one up before adding the feed.
Otherwise, you'll need to download a free RSS reader:
Once you're set up, here's all you have to do...
Right-click (or 'control-click' for Mac users) on any orange RSS button on a website, blog or news source that interests you. To subscribe to Altered Art News, start by right-clicking on the orange button below.
Select Copy Shortcut (Copy Link to Clipboard for Mac, or Copy Link Location for Firefox browsers), paste the web address into your RSS reader, and follow any additional instructions that the reader gives you.
That's it! You've subscribed.
