What is a web feed?

A webfeed is a computer-readable file that summarises the information published on a web site. Our webfeeds use the popular RSS (RDF Site Summary) format. They provide headlines, summaries and links for all the new content published on their respective sites.

RSS webfeeds have multiple uses, but they fall into two main categories:

  1. It makes it easier for users to keep track of our content. Many RSS readers are available to download - click here for a useful list. (Please note we cannot recommend the use of any specific RSS reader; you use them at your own risk.) Once the software is installed, you simply enter the addresses of RSS files that you are interested in and the program will regularly check each of them, alerting you to any new items it finds. This is a very convenient way of staying up to date with the content of a large number of sites.
  2. It makes it easier for other websites to link to our content. Because RSS feeds can easily be read by computers, it's also easy for webmasters to configure their sites so that the latest headlines from another site's RSS feed are embedded into their own pages, and updated automatically.

The listing of of NPG's webfeeds is also available as an OPML file and as a master 'feed of feeds' RSS file to facilitate import into RSS newsreaders.
