           VT Emulation's news system provides an RSS feed for anyone who would like to use it. If you are familiar with RSS and how to use it, you may link to it at the address below and use it as you wish. If you are not familiar with RSS feeds, please read below for more information.




What is an RSS feed?

           RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication", it is essentially a syndicated news feed from a specific site in the most basic form. The RSS feed contains the stories you would find on the site's main news page, except they are stripped of all formatting and constrained to very strict RSS standards. In laymen's terms, it allows you to plug links to the site's most recent news stories anywhere you'd like, whether it be another site or a program used to collect RSS news.

How can I use the RSS feed?

           There are many ways you can use the RSS feed. Many people use RSS feeds for desktop news tickers, scrolling the headline news off of their favorite sites; other people use more complex RSS aggregators to collect and sort their RSS feeds in a specific fashion. The other major use for RSS is integrating it into your own web page, so you can provide your users with headlines from various RSS-capable sites.

          The most likely use you'll have for this service is for personal RSS aggregation through an RSS aggregator as mentioned above. You can find a list of RSS aggregators at Backend.Userland.Com's Aggregator listing (new window), and bear in mind that these are not the only RSS aggregators in existence, you can find a host of others on the web and pull up a few more on Downloads.com (new window) by searching for "RSS". The other use I mentioned is putting the RSS feed into a web site, this task is a bit more complex and is a bit too much to explain in this small blurb. For further information on RSS, you can visit Backend.Userland.Com's RSS page (new window).
