The Araucana is pleased to announce that it is making RSS files of our content available to users, to facilitate reading the Araucana Links in news aggregators. More about RSS.
Available RSS Feed
An RSS file is basically a list of headlines encoded so that it can be easily used by another program or website. RSS is usually said to stand for "Really Simple Syndication" and it is relatively easy to implement and use. RSS is a form of XML (eXtensible Markup Language), which means that each piece of data in the list — a headline, a description of a story — is coded separately so that a program will know exactly what to do with it.
Programs that know what to do with RSS files are called "news aggregators." They let you read headlines from dozens or hundreds of news sites at one time. Some popular aggregators are Amphetadesk (for Windows, Linux, or Mac), Radio (for Windows or Mac), NewzCrawler (for Windows), and NetNewsWire Lite (for Mac). Fyuze.com is a web-based aggregator.
Once you have one of these aggregators installed,
click on the 'Subscribe' button. It will take you to a page where you can
add the RSS feed to five of the most popular aggregators with one more click.
Or you can copy the URL from the little orange XML logo next to the RSS feed
you wish to read, and add it to your aggregator manually. This is a slightly
different process for each aggregator, so look to the help files that come
with it.
