RSS is (Really Simple Syndication) is a subscribe and publication model used on an increasing number of websites. It is usually indicated by the little orange button or a text link next to RSS, XML, Atom or Subscribe. They all mean the same thing; this site has an information feed available which can be automatically sent to you rather than you having to manually check our site.
To use it, you will need a news aggregator (also called feed reader). There are a variety of aggregators that you can use, and the news browsers have RRS support built into them. There are many manufacturers. Some that we know about include the following.
Browsers
- Mozilla Firefox
- Internet Explorer 7
- Safari (Mac)
Web-based readers
To make life easier, most sites separate certain content into b channelsb , similar to TV channels. Each channel has information that is separated by a common theme b ie health, or top stories.

If so, you are not using one of the latest web browsers that support in-line newsfeed viewing. You need to copy the URL from the address bar
(http://nicaprojects.com/index2.php?option=ds-syndicate&version=1&feed_id=1)
and paste into the your newsreader of choice.
