What are podcasts?
Podcasts are audio updates. They're an easy way to get hold of talks, discussions and interviews - if you subscribe to the podcast 'feed' (which is like a subscription to a real newspaper), then your computer and internet connection take care of automatically delivering them you. We use Feedburner, which is a little bit like an invisible paperboy, to help us make these audio feeds. You can then receive podcasts by using software like Juice
If you have any problems finding or downloading the podcasts, or would like more information, you can email Peter Bradwell .
RSS feeds
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is a specially designed XML format used to share web content. RSS is the online version of newspaper delivery. They are called 'feeds' because you choose to 'get fed' certain snippets of information every time your favourite sites are updated. RSS means you can keep track of sources of information and news from all over the web.
Demos RSS feeds
We have a number of RSS feeds that you can subscribe to:
-
Overall Demos feed. This allows you stay in touch with all the updates to our site.
-
Individual project RSS feeds.
-
Events RSS. Stay in touch with our events.
How to receive RSS
In order to be able to receive RSS newsfeeds you need a news ‘feed aggregator’ like Feedreader , and some websites from which you want to receive content from. You’ll need to copy the feed link from the website and paste it into the newsreader. Look for an orange RSS or XML logo. When you have subscribed to an RSS feed, you will receive all news from that feed directly to your aggregator. News will be automatically updated if you are connected to the Internet.
