What is RSS, and why would it interest me?

Want to receive regular updates of all new stories, articles and reviews straight to your desktop? Tired of visiting web sites to find nothing new? If so then RSS is for you.

Sydneyanglicans.net is designed to deliver notifications of all new material to RSS readers. RSS readers scan news sites selected by users and notify them when ‘new’ items appear. They also store these items for you to read at your leisure. Many web sites have adopted this technology including the Sydney Morning Herald, the New York Times and the BBC. Instead of visiting every single web site, simply open your RSS reader and it does all the checking for you.

How do I use it?

You need to two things: an RSS reader (see box on right) and one or more RSS feeds (see our lists of feeds below).

Simply download a free RSS reader, install the program and subscribe to the deeds you would like to be notified about.

You can subscribe to each of our feeds individually (try grouping them in a folder if your RSS reader supports that) OR you can combine them using a pipe ‘|’ character.
