What is RSS?

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is technology that allows you to have headlines delivered to you from a variety of sites. RSS creates a "feed" or list of headlines from your chosen Web sites that you can access at the click of a button.

How do I use RSS?

You need an Internet browser that supports RSS technology, such as Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla Firefox or a host of other programs. Subscribing to feeds is usually simple, and varies from one browser to the next.

For instance, with Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7:

  • You will find an orange RSS icon in your menu bar.
  • Once you open the AlArabiya.net Web site, click on the down arrow next to the RSS icon.
  • Choose the channel to which you'd like to subscribe, and click 'Subscribe to this feed' from the headline page.
  • You will now find this RSS feed listed in the Feeds tab of your Favorites.
  • Alternatively, you can also use a Web-based news reader. For example, "My Yahoo!" or "My MSN" users can add RSS feeds directly to their personal page.
