What are RSS feeds allow you keep up to date on all your favourite sites without having to go visit them. In effect, pieces of your favorite sites come to you instead.You already know the web pages you like to visit, you probably have them in your browser's "Favourites". However, it is not easy to tell when they've been updated without visiting each one. Computers, though, can tell when sites have been updated, using a feed. An RSS feed is usually made up of a number of news and summaries of full content on the website that produced the feed. In other words, you can quickly look at the summaries and, at a glance, tell if you want to click through and visit the full version on the website. Plus, your computer will let you know when a new feed is available. And that's what an RSS feed is: a summary of the latest content on a website so that you can see whether there is anything new or interesting.Although there is some debate about what RSS really stands for, the common definition is: Really Simple Syndication or XML . Unlike some technical terms, this one does what it says: it's a simple web syndication format. RSS is also an international standard, and is rapidly growing in popularity. It used to be just technology and blog sites that offered it, but RSS is now becoming an ordinary thing on many websites. What can I use a feed for? Once you've found some RSS feeds you want to subscribe to what's next? What you need is a way of organizing your feeds together and displaying them so you can see them all at once and in one place. There are several ways of doing this. All the different ways of using feeds usually offer some things in common: 1. a way of subscribing to feeds pointing to the location, like a website address, where the up-to-dated feed content will be available 2. display of all the feeds you have subscribed to 3. tell you which feeds have new content in them 4. a way of following linking back to the full content on the websiteLots of different companies offer separate downloadable programs (often called 'desktop readers' or News aggregators) that will do most of the above and some websites (often called 'web-based readers') and even some web browsers will read and present RSS feeds too.We do not have have our own feed reader, but there are lots of different sites which review and recommend various readers. If you search for "feed finder" or "RSS reader" in your search engine, you will find some of the more popular ones. The only thing you will have to do with any of these options, is to tell the program or website where to find our Ibiza News feed. Just 'Copy-Paste' this URL (web address) in the 'Search Box': http://www.ibiza-hotels.com/news/atom.xml
'Really Simple'.....all you have to do is 'Copy-Paste' this html code someplace on your webpage: And if you want to fancy it up with some appearance code COPY PASTE this CSS code right after your 'BODY' tag: That's all there is to it!... |
