On this page you will some links and instructions to help you set up RSS feeds to our site.
The explanation is not exhastive but should help you get started.
The real benefit of RSS is that it allows users to avoid manually inspecting all of the websites they are interested in, and instead subscribe to websites such that all new content is pushed onto their browsers when it becomes available.
To do this you will need an RSS reader. Fortunately many of you will already be using a browser which supports RSS. Just follow the instructions below:
MS Internet Explorer
For those using Internet Explorer the full instructions are to be found here.
For brevity the following should get you started.
- Switch to the news page, click here
- Click the RSS button
- Click Subscribe to this feed.
- Type a name for the feed “ Village News”
{and select the folder to create the feed in if you want to} - Click Subscribe
To View the feed click the Favorites button, and then click Feeds
You may also want to subscribe to receive changes to the events happening in the village
NB The default browser does NOT include RRS feeds so you first need to download an extension.
There are many to choose from but others have found this link to work successfully.
Follow the instructions supplied with the software, just remember to rename the default RSS name with something shorter.
You will need a Google account to use the service.
The following pages have RSS feeds.
