What is RSS?
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a way to distribute and receive Web news content to your desktop through a newsreader (a kind of news browser). The RSS links on the City of Winnipeg Web site allow you to receive up-to-date announcements from the City of Winnipeg to your desktop.
When a news item arrives, you will receive a headline and brief summary of the news item. The headline will be a hyperlink to the full news release on Winnipeg.ca.
Why use RSS?
Select the news you want. RSS allows you to select the type of news and information you receive from Web sites.
Decide when you get your news. After you set up your news reader, you can customize it to download the news as often as you wish. When a new City of Winnipeg news release is posted, your newsreader will automatically download it when you've scheduled it to do so.
To use RSS, download an RSS newsreader or sign up for a Web-based RSS newsreader. Then, after you have launched your RSS newsreader, select an RSS feed that you want to begin receiving, and setup a new newsfeed.
If you are interested in receiving all news from the City of Winnipeg, your RSS reader may support something called OPML. This format allows you to easily set up your newsfeed from the City of Winnipeg.
