What is a Web feed and how can I use one?
A web feed, or rss feed, is a great way for you to see when new articles are published on your favourite websites, such as Herts24, without actually having to visit the website.
By subscribing to a feed you will receive all the latest headlines as soon as they are published all in one place and in many cases, straight on your desktop.
You can subscribe to a web feed using a feed aggregator program, sometimes called a feed reader or a news reader program. Depending on which program you use, the method to set up the feed may vary but this is usually just a case of copying or dragging the feed link (or the orange feed icon) into the aggregator program.
Throughout Herts24, where ever you see an orange feed icon like this - 
- there is a feed for that section available. To subscibe to that feed just copy or drag the url/icon to your feed aggregator program. A full list of the feeds available on Herts24 is also listed below.
