How to use our Sage and Microsoft RSS feed
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is technology you can use to have information sent
to you, rather than having to go look for it. Many Web sites, including Microsoft's,
offer RSS as a way to have headlines delivered to you. This page introduces RSS
and helps you get started using it.
What is RSS?
RSS technology is used to create a "feed" (list) of headlines that you can have
delivered to you. For example, when we publish new headlines on a site that supports
RSS, those headlines can be added to a feed that you can subscribe to. (Note that
not every headline that goes up on a Web site will automatically be sent to you.
What you receive may vary depending on how we update the feed.)
RSS feeds enable you to get update notifications delivered directly to your desktop
through the news aggregator software program of your choice (we recommend the new
Internet Explorer 7 browser).
RSS offers a convenience because you can subscribe to feeds from several Internet
sites and automatically pull together headlines from all the sources into one list.
This lets you quickly browse the list of new content without visiting each site.
What do I need to use RSS?
In order to receive RSS feeds, you need an RSS reader (The new Internet Explorer
7 has an RSS reader built-in to the browser and is available via free download).
You then simply subscribe to the Web site from which you want to receive content,
and the information will be delivered automatically to your RSS reader.
Here are the steps to start using RSS:
-
Download Internet Explorer 7 from here.
- After installing Internet Explorer 7, open the browser and click the link of the
icon next to a set of links or headlines on your favorite Web site. To receive our
RSS feed click on the RSS icon in the next step.
- Click this icon to subscribe to our feed
- Follow the instructions offered by Internet Explorer 7 to complete the subscription.
- Use your RSS reader to read news when it arrives and click headline links to get
the full Web page.
