What Is RSS?

The abbreviation RSS stands for "really simple syndication."

RSS is like a virtual newsstand, only better. RSS delivers the news right to your door - or rather, to your screen. You get to pick the news you want delivered, and when.

No need to remember websites to visit for news and information. Their updates can come directly to your computer as often as you want.

And you don't have to give out your e-mail address, so you're protected from viruses and spam.

You can use the Cayuga Community College website to take advantage of RSS convenience. Once you choose your news outlets, their "feeds" will come to your computer automatically.

How Can I Get RSS Feeds?

First, you need to download a "news reader" for your computer. This is your delivery service. It finds and displays the RSS feeds that you want on your computer. Most major online search engines (e.g., Google, Yahoo!) offer options that are free of charge.

Once you have the reader, you just need to choose which RSS feeds to subscribe to. Many websites offer an RSS feed, signified by a link on their homepage. Click on that link and you'll be sent to a "Subscribe" page. Simply copy the web address (or URL) of that page and paste it into your news reader. That's all it takes to start delivery to your desktop.
