Our latest news and events are available in a format called RSS. You can access this information with either a news reader, called aggregators, or by adding the RSS feed to your own website.
A program known as a feed reader or aggregator can check RSS-enabled webpages on behalf of any user and display any press releases or articles that it finds.
Many newsreaders are available as standalone programs or extensions of existing programs such as web browsers. Web-based feed readers and news aggregators require no software installation and make the your feed available on any computer with Web access. RSS feeds typically are linked via an orange rectangle with the letters XML or RSS.
For a sample list of news aggregators, go to - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_news_aggregators.
Once you have set up your newsreader, you can subscribe to our news and events feeds. To do this, follow the instructions for your particular newsreader and paste the locations below wherever it asks for the location of the service to which you wish to subscribe.
If you have a website you can include news from the Sport Reading Partnership on it - for free! Have the latest news headlines from the Partnership appearing automatically on your website. This keeps the content on your website fresh and allows your visitors to read the latest local sports news.
To add our news feed to your site you need to copy some code into your webpage. If you have no XML or programming experience there are websites that can create this code for you.
http://www.rss-to-javascript.com/ is a site that will generate the code for you and also allows you to slightly alter the appearance of the feed on your web site.
