What is RSS?
RSS is a format for sharing content among different websites. Sites can syndicate “feeds” (content) and Internet users can use an application called an RSS reader or aggregator to download feeds. There are many such readers available, most at no cost....
News feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest properties and photos in one place, as soon as its published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.
Feeds are also known as RSS. There is some discussion as to what RSS stands for, but most people plump for 'Really Simple Syndication'. In essence, the feeds themselves are just web pages, designed to be read by computers rather than people.
How do I use RSS?
To use an RSS feed you generally need a piece of software called an RSS Aggregator. Such software would include Newz Crawler, Awasu (Windows Software) or Newsfire, NetNewsWire (Mac Software). However the latest versions of Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla Firefox 2, Opera, Netscape 9, Safari for both PC and Mac include some form of RSS reading software with them.
It doesn't just stop there some mobile devices come with the ability to read an RSS feed such as PDAs, Mobile Telephones etc.
To use the feed simply tell your software / internet browser or mobile device to point at the RSS feed at the following address: http://we.we-lettings.co.uk/rss.asp. This can be as simple as dragging the RSS logo
opposite into your feed software. in other cases you may be required to add the whole location.
Once added the software will do the rest, depending on how you have your software set, you may be required to tell the software to automatically check for an updated version of the RSS feed or you may need to manually refresh the feed by telling your software to update it, either way it is a simply process.
The RSS feed contains a list of the 20 latest properties each links through to the main website and by simply clicking on the link your web browser will be opened with the property to view.
