RSS Feed and Comments - what is RSS and how to use it

News has an RSS - 'Really Simple Syndication' - feed which, when you subscribe (it's free), will enable you to see when we have added new content, so you can view the latest News in one place, as soon it is published.

To use RSS, you will need a 'news reader' which checks the feeds and lets you read any existing and new items. There are many different versions, some accessed using a web browser, such as Google Reader, and some downloadable applications. However, Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, Opera and Safari have built-in news readers, which check for feeds when you visit this site and display a blue RSS icon on the address bar of your browser when they find one.

To subscribe, simply click the orange RSS button on the left hand side of the News page. On the right-hand side of the RSS page, under "Actions", click 'add bookmark' to add Ledbury Civic Society to your bookmark folder/menu and the number of new items should appear on the bookmark and disappear after you view them. Also, you can email a link to the RSS page by clicking "Mail Link to this Page", which you will also find under "Actions' on the right-hand side of the RSS page. (If you have Apple iMac (OS Snow Leopard), there's an RSS folder in Mail.)

The same applies to the Comments feed. When you register and log-in, you can leave comments.
