What Is RSS?
RSS means Rich Site Summary (or, more commonly, Really
Simple Syndication), a format for distributing news
headlines on the Web using XML (Extensible Markup
Language). It is more loosely defined as syndication. It is
not just for text, though. You can also receive KUOW audio
podcasts via RSS.
What Do I Need to Receive RSS Feeds?
You will need to download software known as a news reader
or aggregator. This software will display feeds from chosen
Web sites on your computer or online, depending on which
type you choose. Many are free and others require a
payment. There is a list of different news aggregators
on the left.
How Do I Find KUOW RSS Feeds?
Right here! Just click the link next to the
on the right sidebar for each KUOW show
you're interested in. Then paste the URL of the next page
into the appropriate aggregator. (Each news aggregator is
different, but this should be a fairly simple paste into
the application.) The feeds will also be available on the
page of each show that carries one as well.
What Is This Page of Code I'm Taken To?
You're actually seeing the RSS file in its raw form as XML. Just copy
the URL in the address bar at the top and add it to you news aggregator.
That's all you need to do!
