Blog Feeds for Newsreaders

We've joined millions of others around the globe with the establishment of a Blog, or a Web Log, as a forum which combines news with opinion, firstly about refugee issues, but in that also an attempt to create ideas for changing Australia.

This page displays the most recent Blog entries, and links to all Blog items just below that. It also explains some things about the techno-side of News Syndication using RSS Feeds.

Really Simple Syndication (RSS)

Hi all

There is a new bit of technology around these days. On many websites you'll find one of the little orange buttons like the ones above - they indicate that you can get a newsfeed of a web site into a program called a 'Newsreader', if you have that program installed on your computer.

A quick search of the web will find many free or inexpensive news readers with various capabilities. There are web-based news readers, that work a bit like your personalised web page (heard of My Yahoo!?), to read the RSS feeds you choose - and there are programs you download to your computer. Try searching for "RSS newsreader" or visit the Google RSS directory.

Once you have downloaded and installed a reader, follow its instructions for adding new channels.
