RSS feeds

---

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an XML-based format for content distribution. Events at Stanford offers several RSS feeds for use in news readers and Web logs (blogs). These feeds include basic event information (date and time, location, description) and links back to events.stanford.edu for the full details. RSS feeds are free and our site currently uses RSS 2.0.

Look for this icon:

Click on the orange feed icon on any Events at Stanford web page to access the RSS feed. We currently offer feeds for our featured events page, category listings, and individual organization pages.

How to access RSS feeds

There are a number of ways to access RSS feeds. You can install a news reader to manage RSS feeds, enabling you to view headlines from hundreds of different sources. After installing the news reader, you can add each feed by clicking on the feed icon. Some sites may designate RSS feeds with alternative icons that read "RSS", "XML", or "Subscribe."

An alternative to downloading a dedicated news reader is to use a Web-based news reader. For example, My Yahoo! users can now add RSS feeds directly to their personal page.

A listing of popular news readers is available from the News on Feeds website.
