RSS feeds allow you to read all the news and information from your favourite
websites, without having to visit the website you have taken the feed from.
The first thing you need is a news reader. This is a piece of software that
checks the feeds and lets you read any new additions. Some news readers are
accessed using a browser, allowing you to catch up with the feeds you've
subscribed to from any computer. Others are downloadable applications. With
these, you download the feeds on to your PC.
Once you have a news reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you
want it to receive. For example, to receive the latest jobs from eslbase, just
scroll down to the bottom of any page on the site and look for the orange button in the follow us box.
By clicking on the orange button you can subscribe to the feed in a number of
ways. You can drag the URL of the feed into your news reader, or cut and paste
the URL into a new feed in your reader.
Some browsers, like Firefox and Internet Explorer 7, can automatically check for
feeds when you visit a website, and display an icon or button if they find one.
There are many news readers available, with new ones appearing all the time. You
could try a popular browser-based reader like
My Yahoo,
Google,
Rojo
or My MSN, or have a look
here for others.
You are welcome to use any of the eslbase feeds on your site, subject to
our terms of use, and provided that the proper format and
attribution text is used. The attribution should read "From eslbase.com" or
similar. We would also appreciate that you let us know where you are displaying
the feed. If you would like a Javascript of one of our feeds, please email
us at .
