What are Web Feeds?

In a world heaving under the weight of billions of web pages, keeping up to date with the information you want can be a drag.

Wouldn't it be better to have the latest news and features delivered directly to you, rather than clicking from site to site? Well now you can, thanks to a very clever service, web feeds.

Our feeds are built upon the RSS standards and can be used with any RSS reader. Put plainly, it allows you to identify the content you like and have it delivered directly to you.

It takes the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by showing you the very latest information that you are interested in.

How do I start using web feeds?

In general, the first thing you need is something called a news reader. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications. All allow you to display and subscribe to the web feeds you want.

Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want. For example, if you would like the latest OurGazette.com Entertainment stories, simply click on the feed for the section you want.

If you click on the button you can subscribe to the feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL of the web feed into your news reader or by putting 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 web feeds for you. For more details on these, please check their websites.
