  RSS feeds - learn more about them
 

An RSS feed is a special kind of web page which modern browsers (eg Internet Explorer 7 or later and Mozilla Firefox v2 and upwards) can use to automatically update information streams. You could think of it as a "self-updating bookmark".

If your copy of Internet Explorer shows this symbol on the address bar at the top of the page, then you can subscribe to feeds. Other browsers show the symbol elsewhere (Firefox shows it in the address bar, but only when there's a feed on the page).

If you "subscribe" (it doesn't cost anything!) to one of these feeds, your browser will automatically seek and display links to newly posted information. In other words, we can notify you of items and events without you having to go to the website and look for them.

Subscribing to the feed just means you receive the information, there's no charge for it!

Unfortunately, older browser versions may only dislplay the page code, which means that it's time for you to upgrade if you want to benefit from this service.
