- What is an RSS Feed?

Alliance Academy - News & Reviews now offers RSS feeds

What is RSS?
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an XML-based format that offers a new way for headlines and story descriptions to be delivered online.

To view RSS, you'll need a program called a news reader (also called a news aggregator). These programs read the RSS feeds you have subscribed to and display them on your computer.

There are a range of news readers available online, many of which are free of charge and can be downloaded and installed in a matter of minutes. We have a list of some of the readers below.

How does it help?
You want to keep up with what's going on in the industry and stay in compliance and have been searching around the Web looking for information. Subscribe to Alliance Academy's  News & Reviews feed and each time we publish a new story, the story's headline and a description of it will be delivered right to your computer. You can read the story when it arrives or wait until later.  YOU DO NOTHING!!!

Whenever you're online, your reader program will scan our lists and deliver the new posts. With RSS, you run the show.

How do I subscribe to the News & Reviews  RSS feeds
The feeds are FREE and it's as easy as 1-2-3!

1.  The orange RSS news feed button   indicates that a site is publishing a news feed. The button is usually linked to the site's RSS (news feed) file. If you click on the button, you may find your browser is filled with a bunch of strange looking text. Don't panic!

2.  All you need to do is copy the URL in your browser's address bar. Alternatively, you can right click on the orange RSS news feed button and select "Copy Shortcut" from the menu (Internet Explorer).

3.  Now go to your news reader and add the URL to your list of feeds. This is generally through an "add feed" button or menu option which varies depending on the news reader you've selected.

More on RSS
We are currently using the RSS 2.0 format.   There are many FREE newsreader applications that use RSS files.

Here are some popular RSS readers and RSS news aggregators:

Conditions
If you use the feeds publicly -- meaning, where anyone but yourself will read them, please credit Allinace Academy. You may post the headline and the brief description, not the entire story. You may give attribution as text (news.allianceacademy.org is our site name).

Alliance Academy reserves the right to require you to cease posting the News & Reveiws links at any time for any reason.
