RSS is an easy way to keep track of the latest content and news updates from your favourite websites, without exposing your email address to the risk of spam.
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It works by allowing anyone who publishes web content, to create a ‘webfeed’ of their news, which is then delivered to a feed reader (also called a news aggregator). There are numerous free feed readers available.
The advantage of RSS over more traditional methods of delivering new content, such as mailing lists, is that your email address is never submitted so you’re not exposed to possible spam. A webfeed can also be accessed wherever you have an Internet connection and a feed reader installed.
The Southern Cross website has multiple RSS Feeds that you can subscribe to. If you have a look around the website, you may notice the RSS icon “
” next to various topics and authors. This means that that specific author or topic has its own unique RSS feed that you can subscribe to.
