Sifting through the billions of websites on the Internet can be a drag. RSS feeds are the solution. RSS stands for ’Really Simple Syndication’. Put plainly, it allows you to identify the content you like and have it delivered directly to you. It takes the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by showing you the very latest information that you are interested in.
In general, the first thing you need is something called a ‘news reader’. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications. All allow you to display and subscribe to the RSS feeds you want.
Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want. For example, if you would like the latest jobs from CareerCross, simply visit the website and you will notice an orange RSS button on the bottom of the page. If you click on the button you can subscribe to the feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL of the RSS feed into your news reader or by cutting and pasting the same URL into a new feed in your news reader.
Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, have functionality which automatically picks up RSS feeds for you. For more details on these, please check their websites.
There is a range of different news readers available and new versions are appearing all the time. Different news readers work on different operating systems, so you will need to take this into account when you make your choice.
See examples:
We encourage the use of CareerCross Job RSS feeds as part of a website. However, we do require that the proper format and attribution is used when CareerCross content appears. The attribution text should read "CareerCross Job Listings" or "Powered by CareerCross" as appropriate. You may not use any CareerCross logo without expressed permission.
The C.C. Consulting Co. Ltd does not accept any liability for its RSS feeds. Please see the Terms and Conditions for full details.
