While we publish news
as it happens, your RSS reader determines how often it will retrieve
the latest headlines. You can adjust the update frequency in
many RSS readers.
What
is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple
Syndication) is an easy way for you to keep up with breaking
news from TribStar.com. An RSS feed contains headlines, summeries
and links to full news stories on TribStar.com. Instead of you
having to go to Web sites for the latest news and information
on the topics you care about most, you can use category-specific
RSS to stay informed as news changes. TribStar.com offers news
feeds for use in news readers and Web logs (blogs). These feeds
include headlines, summeries and links back to TribStar.com for
the full articles.
Where to download
RSS readers
A wide range of
RSS readers can be easily downloaded from the Web. Some readers
are Web-based while others require you to download a small software
program onto your desktop. New versions of web browsers also
offer integrated RSS capabilities. Most are free to use. (Several
readers require Microsoft's .NET framework on your computer.
They may be slightly more complicated to install if you do not
have .NET.) Google and Yahoo! both offer comprehensive lists of
RSS readers. A few sample readers are also offered below for
the purpose of evaluation.
(Please note that
TribStar.com does not provide techincal support for these products.)

How Do I Use RSS Feeds?
Stand Alone RSS Software
The first step, is to choos an RSS Reader (see the section above).
Each reader has a slightly different way of adding a new feed
(also called a "channel"). In most cases, here's how
it works:
1. Click on the RSS/XML button under "Breaking News".
You'll see a page displaying XML code.
2. From your browser, copy the URL that appears in your Address
Bar.
3. Paste that URL into the 'Add New Channel or Feed' section
of the reader. You should be all set! The RSS feed will start
to display and regularly update the Breaking News headlines for
you.
4. Some RSS readers support "Drag and Drop" methods
of adding feeds. Just click on the RSS/XML button and drag it
onto your RSS reader and it will automatically subscribe you
to that feed.
5. If you already have a personalized MyYahoo! page, you can click the icons to add
RSS feeds to the Yahoo! RSS beta test.
Web-Based RSS Programs
Different web-based readers use different ways of subscribing
to RSS Feeds. Read the instructions on your favorite RSS reader
site.
Web Browsers
When you visit a web page that has automatic RSS Feed links you
will see an icon in the browser. click on the icon and a window
will display the feed link and instructions on how to add that
feed to your list. Examples of RSS icons in their respective
browsers are below:
