What is RSS?

RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary. It is an information publishing method where a user requests material from a site providing an RSS feed. Technically, RSS is a subset of the XML page description language.

Subscribing to an RSS feed

The current versions of the commonly used web browsers (Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2 or 3, Opera 9.x) allow the user to subscribe to an RSS feed simply by clicking a subscription button. The button is usually either a white and orange RSS icon or an orange rectangle with white letters RSS.

Each RSS feed has its own subscription button. The button may be located in the content area of a web page, or in the address bar of the browser. In some cases a text link is used instead of a button, but the functionality is the same in both cases.

The simple subscription method described above may not work with older browsers. In such cases the user will need a separate RSS reader software (for example, RssReader, FeedReader or SharpReader) that can be downloaded for free.

The subscription button to the Suomi.fi RSS feed can be found in the browser's address on the portal's home page, the first page of the Newsroom section and on this page.

For more information on RSS and its features, just use "RSS" as a search term on any major search engine.
