What is a news feed and how does it work?
News feeds (or web feeds) are computer-readable files that summarize new content as it appears on a web site, and often consists of news. Using feeds is an excellent way to keep track of rapidly changing content from numerous sites, and it allows CPANDA to update its users more efficiently than via an e-mail newsletter. Each feed entry includes a heading, a brief description of the new content and a link to the web site.
Feeds also allow users to "syndicate" content. This means users can retrieve and display content from news feeds on their personal web sites without having to add news items manually.
To subscribe to CPANDA's news feeds, you will need a feed reader (or "news aggregator") in order to display the content of our news items. Feed readers can exist either on your desktop, as a web application, or in your browser. Some feed readers are free, others are not. Web-based feed readers include:
Other free feed readers include:
Most desktop-based feed readers simply require you to copy and paste the URL of a given feed into the program in order to view it and subscribe to receive its news updates automatically.
(Please note: Currently the My Yahoo! feed reader does not recognize CPANDA's news feeds. Also, CPANDA cannot provide technical support for installation and use of feed readers.)
