Hurst News Now Available by RSS

You may have noticed the recent addition of scrolling news on the HVS web site. Now that news can come straight to you via the wonder of RSS (Really Simple Syndication).

What is RSS?
It’s a new Internet technology that allows you to subscribe to the content that you want and news items are fed automatically to you without you having to trawl numerous web pages to find it. Most of the major news services (BBC News, Reuters, The Guardian etc.) provide an RSS feed of news, and Hurst Village Society is right up there with them.

How do I get RSS?
One thing you will need is a piece of software called a news reader or aggregator. There are several available from the Internet, many of them free of charge (such as SharpReader). Some mail clients already have RSS support included (e.g. Mozilla Thunderbird) and others such as Microsoft’s Outlook are sure to follow soon.

How do I subscribe to HVS news?
You have probably seen the little orange buttons marked “RSS” or “XML” appearing all over the Internet. Whenever you see one of these it indicates that an RSS news feed is available. Our web site is no different - you can find the orange button on our homepage. The method of subscribing varies from one reader to the next, but usually you simply drag and drop the orange button from the web page into your reader and away you go.
