Feature provides quick, easy way to collect Colgate news

(2005-08-20)

As classes for the fall semester begin Aug. 29 and the Colgate campus again springs to life, you can stay informed about all that is happening through an electronic delivery of news stories that appear on www.colgate.edu.


By offering our news stories in syndication via RSS (Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication), those using news aggregation programs (also called news readers) will receive the latest headlines as soon as they are posted to www.colgate.edu.

For those new to news readers, they are software programs that retrieve stories and information posted on websites. The news is formatted in RSS, which is a form of eXtensible markup language (XML).

Instead of hunting for stories from website to website through a browser, a news reader program automatically fetches headlines and news updates for you. News reader programs are available in both free and fee-based versions on the Internet.

Newsgator is one free news reader that is easy to set up, as is Pluck. MyYahoo! also has a news reader that can easily be added. Wikipedia has an extensive list of news reader options for both PC and Mac users.

So if want your Colgate news delivered electronically to you in a quick and easy way
you should consider signing on to the RSS bandwagon.

To get the latest Colgate news delivered via RSS, just copy the link below and paste it into the subscription window of your news reader. It's that simple. If you have any problems getting started, please e-mail us.
