Below are the Denver Post's web feeds. Click a link to get started subscribing.
What's a web feed?
You've probably seen many news websites that feature orange buttons that say either "RSS" or "XML." And if you've clicked on those buttons, you've probably been sent to a page filled with bewildering code.
"Web Feed," "RSS Feed," "Feed" and "XML" all mean pretty much the same thing. RSS just stands for "Really Simple Syndication," and that's exactly what these feeds offer you. XML is the language that's used to create these feeds. So whenever you see either button, it means that site offers these feeds as an alternate way to get your news.
In the big picture, web feeds are useful for keeping up with multiple online information sources. Some common types of feeds are a site's blog posts, all our stories from a particular category ( from large categories, like Sports, to small categories, like our Books coverage). Basically, the web feeds you subscribe to let you know when there's new content. The feeds themselves usually consist of a collection of entries, each with a headline and a blurb and a link.
What's the point?
The cool thing about feeds is when they're used right they save you time. Web feeds allow you access to only the information you're interested in and none of the information you're not. Are you only interested in our movie coverage? Instead of surfing to our movie section each day to see if there's a new article, you can subscribe to the movie web feed, which will let you know when there are new articles. This gets more useful the more feeds you subscribe to: instead of going to, say, fifteen different sites, sections or pages to see if there's anything you want to read, now you just go to one place.
What's a web feed reader?
To take advantage of these feeds, you'll need a web feed reader, a piece of software that searches the web for XML files. You can customize these readers to just search for articles or sources (like a specific blog, for example, or all the News from the BBC) that you want, and ignore everything else. It's a way to filter through the huge amount of information online and retrieve the stuff that matters most to you.
