about our feeds

Our RSS feed allows you to have the latest web content, news and events at bcims.org delivered to you using an aggregator program, web browser, or even a media player (like Apple’s iTunes). It’s an easy way to stay up to date on all the great things we’re doing.

RSS literally stands for Really Simple Syndication. It’s a way to subscribe to information on a website so it gets delivered directly to you. In order to take advantage of RSS, you need to have an RSS reader that will grab the new information in our feed and alert you that it’s there. So instead of checking our site to see if there are updates, your RSS reader will alert you when there’s something new you might want to read.

 

See a video that explains RSS clearly. Or read Feed Quick Start, Feed 101, or RSS in Wikipedia.

Most RSS readers are totally free, and are divided into two main groups: downloaded applications that live on your computer and web-based readers that you can access from any computer on the web. Here’s a good list of some popular RSS readers available to you for free.

BCIMS doesn’t endorse any of these products or companies, we just want to help get you started with some options. If the links above haven’t helped, here’s a more complete list of the various RSS readers.

 

We wouldn’t expect you to set up RSS just to see one site. The power of RSS is more obvious when you start subscribing to lots of sites. Then, instead of looking at 10, 20 or 50 sites every day, you can just check your RSS reader and see what’s new on all the sites you normally visit. Quite a time saver. Here are some sites that you may want to subscribe to so you can get started.
