Information
about RSS news feeds
What is RSS?
Really Simple
Syndication, or RSS, provides a quick, easy, and lightweight way for
you to monitor new content that is added to the EPA Region 6 Web
site. RSS is an XML format for broadcasting content. An RSS feed is
an XML-formatted file that is used to deliver content. Web sites
publish titles, links, and descriptions about new content in an RSS
feed "channel", and RSS readers (aggregators) pull that content.
Our RSS feeds provide the title of a new piece of content, such
as a News Release, a brief description, and a link to the content on
the EPA Region 6 Web site.

What do I need to use RSS?
To
receive RSS feeds, you need a program known as a feed reader or
aggregator that can automatically check RSS-enabled Web pages that
you select, and then display any updated information that it finds.
There are numerous feed readers available, including many which are
free of charge. Most are simply desktop programs that you download
and install on your computer. There are also Web-based feed readers
that require no software installation and make the "feeds" available
on any computer with Web access. Once the news reader program is set
up, you are ready to subscribe to the RSS content feeds you
want.
How can I get a feed reader?
The
on-line encyclopedia Wikipedia lists dozens of feed or news
readers. You may also search using the terms “RSS readers” on either Yahoo, Google or your favorite search engine.
Why use RSS?
RSS alerts you to new
content that interests you. Subscribing to an epa.gov RSS feed makes
you one of the first to know when a news announcement has been
issued. We offer a variety of RSS feeds to subscribe to so you can
select news releases of greatest interest to you. You can also use
RSS on other Web sites including news organizations, technology
companies and other government agencies.
