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 New England 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 New England 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 webpages 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. For a listing of many Federal
government RSS feeds, visit http://www.USA.gov/Topics/Reference_Shelf/Libraries/RSS_Library.shtml
