RSS enables the latest RSA content to be delivered directly to you the moment it is published - without you having to visit the RSA site to view it!
The first thing you need is an RSS reader. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser (like Bloglines), and some of which are downloadable client-side applications (like Sharp Reader). All of them allow you to display and subscribe to your preferred RSS feeds.
Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is click on the orange RSS buttons on RSA's RSS page.
Once you've clicked you will be taken to a page that displays a bunch of code. Don't worry! All you need to do is cut and paste the page's URL (website's address) into a new feed in your news reader... and then wait for updated RSA content to be delivered to you. It's as simple as that!
Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, have functionality that automatically picks up RSS feeds for you. For more details on these, please check their websites.
We hope you enjoy our feeds!
