What is RSS?
Wouldn't it be great to have the latest jobs delivered directly to you, rather than clicking about this website?
RSS allows you to automatically see when new jobs have been added or updated.It takes the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by showing you the very latest information that you are interested in. There is some discussion as to what RSS stands for, but most people plump for 'Really Simple Syndication'. RSS feeds are just a special kind of web page, designed to be read by computers rather than people. It might help to think of them as the free, internet version of the old-fashioned ticker-tape news wire machines. We have RSS feeds for all the jobs listed on our web site. How do I start using the RSS feed?
In general, the first thing you need is something called a news reader. This is a piece of software that checks RSS feeds and lets you
read any new jobs that have been added to them. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some
of which are downloadable applications. Browser-based news readers let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer,
whereas downloadable applications let you store them on your main computer, in the same way that you either download your e-mail using
Outlook, or keep it on a web-based service like Hotmail. Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want to receive in your news reader, by finding and subscribing to the relevant RSS feeds. For example, if you would like the latest jobs on this site, simply visit home page and you will notice an orange RSS button on the top right hand side. Like this one!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, automatically check for RSS feeds for you when you visit a website, and display an icon when they find one. This can make subscribing to RSS feeds much easier. For more details on these, please check their websites.
