What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It allows you to have all the latest news and features from your favourite sites delivered to you directly at the click of a button.
More and more websites are beginning to use to RSS, including The Guardian, BBC and CNN.
UK Investment Advice utilise RSS to take the hassle away from you staying up-to-date with all the very latest investment news and articles.
How do I start using RSS?
The first thing you need is an RSS news reader (also known as a News Aggregator). There are many different versions, some of which are accessed via your browser, and some of which are downloadable applications. All good news reader’s allow you to display and subscribe to the RSS feeds you want.
