RSS Feeds
RSS feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. The IW County Press offers RSS feeds for the latest news,
business news and sports news, showing you a preview of the most up-to-date content before you visit the site. If you want

There is some discussion as to what RSS stands for, but most people opt for ‘Really Simple Syndication’. The feeds are web pages
designed to be read by computers rather than people.
To access the IW County Press RSS feeds you will need to use a feed reader. This piece of software checks the feeds and shows
you any new articles that have been added. There are a variety of free feed readers available. Some are downloaded applications
and others are accessed from your web browser. They are easy to find through any search engine.
Some browsers, including Safari and Firefox, will automatically check for RSS feeds when you visit a website, showing an
RSS icon when they locate a feed.
To subscribe to the IW County Press RSS feed, find a feed reader to suit you, click on the RSS feed you want and bookmark
it in the feed reader. You can then access the latest news at the click of a button.
You can also access RSS feeds on your mobile phone. Some mobiles have applications installed that will read feeds, but on
other handsets you will need to download and install a reader. The best way to find an appropriate application is to search
online for ‘RSS feed reader’ followed by the make of your phone.
