RSS News Feeds

This website provides RSS News Feeds. From this page (or the Home page) you can view or subscribe to feeds to keep you up-to-date with the latest articles on the main SJTAG site. Users of our Forums can gets feeds for individual discussion threads, topic areas or simply a summary from the entire forum. The wiki offers a RSS feed from the Recent Changes Page.

What is an RSS News Feed?

RSS feeds are normally read by an RSS News Aggregator. These feeds provide a summary of the "news" topic, and a link to the full article. You can simply view a feed when you want by revisiting the website, but once you've found a feed that you are interested in, then you may want to "subscribe" to that feed. Subscribing means that your News Aggregator will automatically check for new articles an all your subscribed feeds without you having to visit the sites. If you want to follow up on an article in your feed, then an embedded link will take you directly to the relevant web page.

RSS feeds are often indicated by this icon:

What do I need?

There are many News aggregators around (some of the best ones are free), and you can choose either a dedicated Aggregator or a plug-in for an existing application, such as your mail client or web browser. Internet Explorer 7 and FireFox 3 both have in-built support for feeds: When you open a web page that includes feeds, the RSS Button on the top bar will light up, and clicking on this will show the feed contents and give you the option to subscribe to the feed.
