RSS – What is it?
RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication, is an Internet format that gives you a way to quickly and easily access Web-based headlines, blurbs, and article links from a wide variety of sources without having to search independently at each site. It's most often used for showing the latest headlines from online newspapers, magazines, weblogs, and vendor and technology information sites. Our site offers an RSS feed that you are welcome to use.
RSS – How do I use it?
To access RSS headlines, you need a software program known as a news aggregator or RSS reader that lets you receive and then read content from the site’s RSS feed. Here are some examples:
Bloglines Windows and Mac
NetNewsWire MacOS X
FeedDemon Windows
KlipFolio Windows
Pluck Windows
Radio Userland Windows, MacOS X and earlier
NewsGator Windows, Outlook
Amphetadesk Windows, MacOS X and earlier, Linux
NewsMonster Mozilla browser plug-in supports Linux, Windows
SharpReader reads RSS and Atom
Once you have a reader selected, simply copy the following URL into the reader as a new channel or feed:
www.k12blueprint.com/k12/blueprint/blueprint_rssfeed.xml
Can I use your RSS feed in my website?
Yes! We’d love it if you would! We do have a couple of requirements though.
Please do not post our full-text stories, and please make sure that you provide proper attribution to this site with this logo.
We don't require anything dramatic, just that you always note the source of the information as coming from our site. Though it is unlikely, we reserve the right to require you to cease distributing or presentation of our content at any time for any reason.
You may integrate our RSS feeds into your Web sites as a way of displaying headline news.
There are several ways to implement RSS news feeds on your site. One of the easiest and simplest is through the use of JavaScript. Below is an example:
<script language="JavaScript"
src="http://slashdemocracy.org/xml/feed2js/feed2js.php?
src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.k12blueprint.com%2Fk12%2Fblueprint%2Fblueprint_rssfeed.xml&chan=y&desc=1&targ=y"
type="text/javascript"></script>
It should end up looking like this when your done:
You can easily change the display of RSS feeds, and use different RSS feeds by using Dr John Gotze's Feed2js service, which is a free, easy to use service that generates the javascript.
