How to Subscribe
Subscribe to the NYSED's RSS feeds and get news delivered directly to your desktop! What is a RSS (Real Simple Syndication) news feed? RSS news feeds allow you to get the latest news without having to visit a particular website. News readers "subscribe" to news feeds, which means they download lists of stories at an interval that you specify (every 30 minutes, for example), and present them to you in your news reader.
In years past, people accomplished this with e-mail newsletters. A link, to new articles or a set of articles would be e-mailed to each subscriber. If e-mail works, why use a news reader? There are several advantages:
- You can subscribe and unsubscribe at any time and the effect is immediate.
- You do not need to give out your e-mail address or tell anyone about your subscriptions.
- You can read articles on your schedule, not on whatever schedule the author uses to send e-mails.
In order to subscribe to a RSS news feed, you will need a news reader. Performing a search for "RSS Feed Readers" in any major online search engine such as Google.com or Yahoo! will produce a slew of software options — many of which are free or at little cost. There are feed readers that you install on your PC or there are feed readers that are web-based, such as what is available on an iGoogle or a MyYahoo! page. Also, the Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 and Firefox 2.0 & 3.0 web browsers have the capability of displaying and subscribing to news feeds.
Once you've obtained a feed reader, subscribing to a RSS feed is simple. Listed above are the available news feeds. Simply copy the URL/shortcut Web "address" of the page that corresponds to the topic that interests you. Then paste the URL it into your feed reader. The software will then automatically retrieve and display the latest information.
