RSS Feed (Really Simple Syndication)

What is RSS?

RSS, often described as "Really Simple Syndication," is an easy way for you to keep updated automatically on websites you like. Instead of you having to go to websites to see if they've written a new article or feature, you can use RSS to get them to tell you every time they have something new. Place the RSS feed of your choice into your RSS reader and each headline will link you back to daily-chronicle.com for the entire story.

Daily Chronicle now offers RSS feeds (or channels) for most of its sections, eg local news, sports, neighbors, etc.

What are the terms of use?

The content of Daily-Chronicle.com is protected by U.S. copyright laws. The feeds are provided free of charge for use by individuals and non-profit organizations for personal, non-commercial uses. You may display the headline, active links and any other information provided in the RSS feed on your personal or non-commercial web site. You should provide attribution to Daily-Chronicle.com in connection with your use of the feeds.

Information within the feed should not be changed, deleted or redistributed. Use of the feeds does not imply that Daily-Chronicle.com or the Daily Chronicle endorses, promotes or supports any third-party cause, product or service.

The Daily Chronicle and Daily-Chronicle.com reserve the right to require you to cease distributing these feeds at any time for any reason.

How can I make use of RSS?

In general you need to get hold of a program called a News Reader. This displays RSS information feeds from your chosen websites on your computer. These software programs will collect, update and display RSS feeds from any number of sources. A number of free and commercial news aggregators are available for download.

Web browsers: Some web browsers, including Firefox, allow you to incorporate RSS feeds that will be downloaded and viewable through the browser. In the case of Firefox, they are called "Active Bookmarks." Internet Explorer users can download a plugin called RSSExplorer.

All you then have to do is choose which RSS feeds you want for instance, an RSS feed of all the latest Sports news from Daily Chronicle.
