(What is RSS?)
Assessment
What is RSS, and how can I use it?
The first step in using RSS
feeds is to install feed-reading software. Some internet browsers, like
Firefox, Opera, and Safari, are able to receive RSS feeds directly (Internet
Explorer currently does not directly support RSS
feeds). Otherwise, third-party feed-reading software can be downloaded and
installed (Note: do not install any software, feed-reading or otherwise, on
your computer without thoroughly researching the safety and functionality of
the software. MCG cannot be held responsible for any faulty or malicious
software you may install in pursuit of feed-reading.).
Once you have the ability to read RSS feeds, it is time to find some
feeds that interest you. Perhaps you would be interested in subscribing to
the feed for the Health Disparities Unit that broadcasts updates to this
site? Subscribing to this RSS feed is as simple as clicking the
button
located in the navigation bar to the left. A dialog box may appear asking you to confirm your
desire to subscribe (depending on the software you are using). Otherwise,
copy and paste the URL into your feedreader of the page that loads (this
page may look like random, unformatted text). This procedure is similar to other sites with RSS.
Alternatively, Firefox users can click on the
button in their address bar or status bar to subscribe to a site's RSS feed,
and Opera and Safari users can click the
button
located in their address bar.
That is all you have to do! Now you are ready to receive updates from the Health Disparities Unit.
