What’s an RSS Feed?

An RSS Feed is where you can see if all your favourite sites have updates from one place – a Feedreader. Instead of trawling over the internet to see if there are any new updates - the updates come to you.

The Feedreader look a lot like an email account, where once you note down which sites you want to watch, it sends you auto updates of everything that has been added to that site.

You'll need:
A FeedReader (eg. Google Reader is free).
Your Favourite Sites (Obviously - SkillsOne!)

How you do it:
Step 1. Sign up to a FeedReader.

Step 2. Enter your favourite sites into the Feedreader.

Step 3. See updates of your favourite websites as they happen!

Step 1. Sign up to a FeedReader.

A Feedreader is kind of like an email account, but instead of receiving emails it recieves updates from websites about new content.

You need to sign up to a Feedreader - there are loads of free Feedreaders, one kind is the Google Feedreader.

Once you've signed up, just log in to the Google Reader.

A Feedreader has news sites listed on the left, and the updates from the websites on the right.

To add a subscription to a Feedreader, simply look for RSS Feed icons.

You'll see them around websites, near the menus, usually at the top or bottom of pages.

Once you've clicked on it, it will ask you how you want to recieve updates.

One example is:

Otherwise, add the RSS feed address, as above, listed on the site into the Feedreader (below).

Then you will be recieve updates in your Feedreader.

Step 2. Sign up to SkillsOne RSS Feed.

Click on the RSS icon on the SkillsOne Website:

The website will then ask how you want to recieve the Feed - in what kind of Feedreader. Choose the Feedreader you've chosen, whether it's Google Reader or another Feedreader.

Then, back in your Feedreader, refresh the page, and you'll see your SkillsOne feed!

Step 3. See SkillsOne updates as they happen!

Enjoy!
