What is RSS and how does it work?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML format for distributing and aggregating Web content. Using RSS, Web content providers like the events.iu.edu can create and disseminate events feeds that can keep your website and you update on upcoming IU events.

How do I use RSS?

There are two typical methods for using RSS: Using a program known as a news aggregator or reader to collect, update, and display RSS feeds

Incorporating RSS feeds into web logs

There are many free or commercial news aggregator or reader programs available for download. Other services are web-based and allow you to subscribe to RSS feeds and display the content inside your browser.

We suggest MagPie RSS as a server-based RSS reader.
