Stay up to date with Onlydominican.com RSS Feeds

Post by admin »

What is RSS?
RSS, an acronym for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary, is a format for syndicating content from web sites. More technically speaking, it is an XML-based protocol that allows for the automatic distribution of Internet content from via RSS aggregators or readers. RSS allows you to receive free updates by subscribing (or clicking on buttons labeled 'RSS' or 'XML') to information from sites that publish content (e.g. news outlets or bloggers).

Think of it like it like an easy way to get a summary of "What's New" from all of your favourite web sites.

If you happen to have an RSS feed reader, use Yahoo or Google homepage...stay up to date with the latest forum posts by using our feedburner syndication link

Onlydominican.com uses RSS feeds to syndicate Forum Postings.

In the future, News, Articles, Features etc will be offered through RSS feeds

How to create a Live Bookmark
Image

Subscribing to an RSS web feed is as simple as creating a so called Live Bookmark. And to make life even easier Firefox can auto detect some feeds, and provide a shortcut for subscribing.
Image
Subscribing to an RSS feed (pre 1.5)

When you visit a site and you see the orange icon in the bottom right part of the Mozilla Firefox browser window (the status bar), or if you are using version 1.5 or newer, in the right most part of the address bar.

Subscribing to an RSS feed (1.5 and later)

The Add Bookmark (Add Live Bookmark for 1.5 and newer) dialog appears and you can add the Live Bookmark.

Adding a Live Bookmark

I prefer to add the Live bookmarks to the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder, normally shown under the navigation toolbar, so I can have a quick peek at recent events with just one mouse click.

If a site has an RSS feed, but the orange icon doesn't show up, you can add the feed manually. Select "New Live Bookmark..." in the Bookmarks Manager and enter the URL and other information of the feed.
