Making the most of RSS feeds

RSS feed icon

This icon is rapidly being adopted as the standard for RSS feeds.

Looking for a way to keep daily tabs on specific sections or even all of Roanoke.com without typing in that familiar URI? RSS will feed the need.

Puns aside, RSS (Really Simple Syndication) offers a way to pull content (stories, podcasts, the TimesCast) from a given Web site to a news aggregator. This can be either in the form of software, or a Web-based service such as Bloglines or Google.

We also use RSS feeds to pull content from part of our site to another. This can be seen whenever you see blog entries displayed on the site, such as in the blog index section (lastest entries).

Visit our RSS index page to find an RSS feed for a given section or podcast.

About this blog

"From the Newsroom" is a place for newsroom editors to discuss with our community the decisions, backstories and details that go into producing The Roanoke Times and roanoke.com.

Here, we'll tell the stories behind the stories you see in the paper and on the website, talk about the decisions we've made and why we've made them, and introduce you to new features and projects we're working on.

Please join us along the way.

[ Meet the editors. ]
