What is RSS?

There is some discussion as to what RSS stands for, but the majority prefer 'Really Simple Syndication'. It takes the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by showing you the very latest information easily and directly.

First you need a news reader. There are lots of different versions, some are accessed using a browser, and some of which are separate programs. All allow you to display and subscribe to the RSS feeds you want. Many web sites now have RSS feeds, such as major news sites and of course, www.property-report.com

If you click on the button you can subscribe to the feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL of the RSS feed into your news reader or by cutting and pasting the same URL into a new feed in your news reader.

Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, have functionality which automatically picks up RSS feeds for you. For more details on these, please check their websites.
