RSS Feeds
What is RSS?RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It enables you to identify the type of web site information you interested in - and have it delivered directly to your computer.
Derbyshire Constabulary has set up an RSS service to keep you up-to-date with news and to ask for your help during our appeals. We will shortly be introducing RSS to let you know when we're advertising job vacancies. How do I receive RSS updates?The first thing you need is something called a 'news reader' or 'news aggregator'. This is a piece of software that checks RSS feeds and presents you with new information that has been added to them - all in a readable format.
How do I get a news reader?There are many types of reader. Some work via your internet browser, whilst others operate as a standalone program or even plug into your e-mail software.
Don't be daunted by the technical-sounding name, RSS, or by the prospect of obtaining a news reader.
There is a lot of helpful information on the internet to help you get started. You may wish to use the links below. These will take you to other web sites that provide more information. I have a news reader, so what now?On the right, there is a list of sections that are available as RSS feeds. Your news reader should provide you with instructions on how to link to a feed. In most cases, you can subscribe to the feeds by dragging the link into your news reader, or dragging or cutting and pasting the URL of the feed into your news reader. Please refer to the help file in your news reader for more information.
