RSS Feeds

What are RSS Feeds?
 
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based format for sharing and distributing web content, such as news and events. Using an RSS reader, you can view data feeds from various news sources on the IDI website.

How do I start using them?
 
In general, the first thing you need is an RSS reader. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications. All of them allow you to display and subscribe to the RSS Feeds you want.

Once you have chosen an RSS reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want. If you would like the latest IDI News or Events, simply visit this page and you will see the RSS link on the right-hand side.

If you click on the link you can subscribe to the Feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL of the RSS Feed into your RSS reader or by cutting and pasting the same URL into a new feed in your RSS reader.
