RSS Feeds Frequently Asked Questions

What is RSS?
RSS is a way for you to get information and updates from a web site. It is usually used for news and blog websites, but can also be used for distributing other types of digital content, including pictures, audio, or video. RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication and is referred to as a "feed" that you can subscribe to. A benefit of subscribing to RSS is that you don't have to check the Web site for updates. The updates come to you as soon as they are published. RSS uses a technology called XML (Extensible Markup Language), which can be easily read by machines. RSS is indicated by this icon on your web browser:

How do I know if a website offers feeds?
When you first view a website, your web browser will search for feeds. If feeds are available, the Feeds button will change color from grey to orange and a sound will play. Click the Feeds button , and then click the feed you want to see. To get content automatically, you should subscribe to a feed.

How do I subscribe to a feed?
You can receive content automatically by subscribing to a web feed. When you subscribe to a web feed, you set the interval at which your web browser will check the website for updates. Once you've set an interval, your web browser will automatically download the most up-to-date web feed list.

To subscribe to a feed, follow these steps:

• Go to the webpage that has the feed to which you want to subscribe.
• Click the Feeds button to discover feeds on the webpage.
• Click a feed (if more than one is available). If only one feed is available, you will go directly to that page.
• Click Subscribe to this feed.
• Type a name for the feed and select the folder to create the feed in.
• Click Subscribe.

What is an RSS Reader?
In order for you to see the RSS feeds, you need something called a "reader" or "aggregator." This is basically software that monitors the site and automatically shows you what's new. Feed readers can monitor multiple sites and provide updates to all of them in one place.

There are many different kinds of readers and new ones crop up all the time. Some are installed on your desktop, others are web-based, some are connected with your email software, and some are connected with your browser. The kind of reader you use may be influenced by the operating system of your computer. Browser based news readers let you read RSS feeds from any computer, whereas other readers will only have feeds available on the computer that it is installed on.

You can get more information about different kinds of readers and download some of them here.

How does a feed differ from a website?
A feed can have the same content as a webpage, but it's often formatted differently. When you subscribe, your RSS feed reader program, such as your web browser, automatically checks the website and downloads new content so you can see what is new since you last visited the feed.

What formats do feeds come in?
The most common formats are RSS and Atom. Feed formats are constantly being updated with new versions. All web feed formats are based on XML (Extensible Markup Language), a text-based computer language used to describe and distribute structured data and documents. Driving Television website provides feeds in both RSS and Atom formats. Click the feeds validation icons below to check the status of our feeds.
