All About RSS Feeds

What is RSS?
RSS technology provides free content feeds from websites, including the Kauai County website, that contain headlines, summaries and links back to the website for more information.
 
RSS is an XML-based format for electronic content distribution. RSS allows developers to codify content and make it available for users to pull to their desktop via a news reader (or "aggregator") – software that displays RSS feeds.
 
Used most often to disseminate news and Web Logs (blogs), RSS allows content producers to create feeds to which users subscribe, like subscribing to a broadcast e-mail list. 
 
Advantages of RSS
RSS is an easy way for you to be alerted when new content appears on websites you have selected. Instead of visiting a particular website to browse for new articles and features, RSS automatically tells you when something new is posted online.
 
There are several other advantages to using RSS feeds:
  • Feeds update themselves whenever new content becomes available.
  • You don't have to give out your e-mail address to get feeds.
  • You won't receive feeds to which you haven't subscribed.

Detailed Information on Getting Started

How to subscribe

Step 1: Get an RSS Feed Reader / Aggregator
To start using RSS, you need a news reader that displays RSS content feeds from websites you select. There are several different news readers available, many of which are free of charge. News Readers vary somewhat in form and function, so you may want to try a few before picking one. 

An alternative to downloading a dedicated news reader is to use a Web-based news reader. These services will enable you to access your RSS feeds without having to run a special program. For example, My Yahoo! users can now add RSS feeds directly to their personal page. Users of popular news readers such as Newsgator, Bloglines, and Google can use the direct links provided to add content to those services.

Step 2: Subscribe to Feeds
Click the links provided to add feeds to your favorite web based news reader.
To add a Kauai County government feed to your dedicated news reader:
  • From the list of Kauai County RSS feeds, choose and click on a RSS icon link ( RSS icon ). You'll be taken to an XML page. Copy that page's URL (web addresses) to the clipboard.
  • Open your news reader
  • Select New Channel, Subscribe, etc.
  • Paste in the URL
  • Follow prompts as directed

Using your browser to subscribe to RSS feeds

However, if you click on an RSS subscribe button in the Chrome browser, you need to install Google's RSS Subscription Extension at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-subscription-extensio/nlbjncdgjeocebhnmkbbbdekmmmcbfjd before you can subscribe to an RSS feed.
