RSS is a simple way of receiving news updates from a particular website. Once you subscribe to an RSS 'feed', news items will be delivered to your computer when they come out. It's then easy for you to look at them on the web in your own time.

If you subscribe to the Trust's feed, you will receive regular updates about the Trust's activities. There are a number of ways to subscribe, but in all cases you will need a programme to collect the news items for you, and to check for new items every day. These programmes are sometimes called 'aggregators'.

If you are using Internet Explorer 7, this programme can work as an aggregator. When you click on the orange RSS button, it will bring up the Trust's RSS page in a new window. There should be a link at the top which says 'subscribe to this feed'. Click that link, and you are subscribed. Then, to view the news items, and to see if any new articles have been delivered, you can go to the favourites section of the Explorer window - usually by clicking this icon:



This opens a smaller window, with a button called 'feeds'. Clicking this lets you look at the different feeds you are subscribed to - and clicking on an individual feed will take you straight to it in the main browser window, so you can see what's new. Once you're looking at the different news items, you can read a whole item by clicking on its headline.

With Mozilla Firefox, it should also give you a link on the RSS page to 'subscribe to this feed'. You can then choose to subscribe using 'live bookmarks'. This usually puts a button on the toolbar (directly above the main browser window) called 'OWBT News', and clicking on that lets you look at the latest news items.

If you don't have these browser programmes and want to get them, follow these links:

Internet Explorer 7 | Mozilla Firefox
