What is RSS
?
RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication. It is a quick and easy way to
create and use "syndicated content". It is usually used for news headlines and announcements.
Allo' Expat uses RSS to deliver Forum and Topic updates previews to
you.

Find your News Aggregator
The
easiest way to experience RSS is through an RSS "newsreader" or "aggregator". This
will provide simple ways to read it by fetching and organizing recent content. You will find below a list
of free RSS
clients.
BlogExpress[/b:794e1b
0be8] - Windows Providing a familiar, usable interface and high-usability; BlogExpress stands out as
an invaluable tool for those getting started with
RSS.
SharpReader – Windows While
it doesn't provide the myriad of features found in bigger, more expensive clients; it does the job and
does it well.
FeedReader -
Windows 98 With more advanced features and options, it will keep geeks satisfied while giving more
growth-room for
newbies.
NetNewsWire
Lite - Mac OS While not as powerful as its big brother, this is the cleanest and most
elegant RSS reader for the Mac
platform.

Import your Feeds
You then
have to locate the web address (url) of the RSS feed (XML file) that you wish to subscribe. In Allo'
Expat it is the hereafter button which is on all Forums.
Choose the one you'd like to receive
info for and copy and paste the link into the appropriate section of your RSS reader. You can try to
right-click the link and select "copy target address" or something similar. Please consult the
documentation for your RSS reader for more information.
Receive &
read
The feeds on this site will update you on the latest activity in certain Allo'
Expat Forums, sections or posts. Individual RSS readers will present you the information differently and
you can usually customize them easily.
Enjoy !!
You will not
have to come to Allo' Expat and find that there has been no activity, you just have to wait to be updated
and receive the summary directly. You can also add RSS feeds from other sites, blogs or any other internet
source very easily. |
