What is RSS?
Think of it as a subscription service. ie. You
probably have several magazines you subscribe to,
like TIME etc. RSS is similar to that concept - You
subscribe to a "feed", and that feed delivers
content to your reader. For instance if you
subscribed to our bulletins, each time a new one is
entered, you will have an indication telling you
that a new item is available.We have an RSS feed for our bulletins, We also
foresee that our Calendar will also be presented as
a RSS feed. Here's a link that describes
what the protocol is
RSS
Newer browsers like
Firefox, and Internet Explorer 7 promise support for
RSS natively. You can get firefox at
www.getfirefox.com . Once you install it
and visit our site, you will see at the right corner
of the firefox window, something like this....

Click on the symbol marked to
subscribe. It will add a bookmark to your bookmark
folder. Every time you visit these bookmarks they
are updated, and will contain the latest 5
bulletins.

It is possible to use a RSS reader or plugins
program also.
Pluck is a popular RSS reader for Internet
Explorer. You could also use something like
Sage(a
plugin) for Firefox.
