What is a "feed" or RSS?

Content

A feed is usually used for website content that changes regularly, and is published in a way that allows people to subscribe to receive the updated content automatically.  Many browser programs, used to view the Internet, have the ability to receive and store the feeds until you are ready to read them, and there are also specific programs, many of them free, that will do this.

The following pages on our website have RSS feeds available:

• Festivals & Events
• Minutes and Agendas
• News Releases
• What's New

View it from your browser:

1. Click on the RSS link (indicated by the orange icon, in the sidebar on each page).
2. Subscribe to the link at the top of the page.  Check your browser's help text for more specific instructions or additional features.

NOTE: this feature is ONLY available for Firefox, Internet Explorer 7, and Safari.  Other or older browser versions may require the use of a desktop RSS Reader*

View it from your desktop:

1. Copy the RSS link (indicated by the orange icon, in the sidebar on each page).
