What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a web-feed format based on XML used to publish frequently-updated web content. RSS content (also known as a feed, web-feed, or channel) is free and can be read using software called a reader, feed reader, RSS reader, or aggregator.

Why use RSS?

When you subscribe to a feed, updates to this website will automatically download in your feed reader so that you don't have to visit the website frequently to see what's new. It's a fast and easy way of keeping up with PAI!

How do I subscribe to an RSS feed?

You can subscribe to a feed through a reader by adding the feed link to a list of feed subscriptions in the reader. Some readers will detect a feed if you click on an RSS icon in a browser and it will then initiate the subscription process for you. Once you have subscribed to a feed, the reader will check it regularly and download any updates.

Please note that different feed readers will have different features. The following are steps for subscribing to feeds generally.

  1. Click on the link to a feed on the feed web page.
  2. Copy the link address in your browser's address bar by right-clicking and selecting "copy" or by going to "edit" button on your toolbar and then selecting "copy."
  3. In your feed reader, select the option to add a feed subscription
  4. Paste the link address where you are prompted to add an address by right-clicking and selecting "paste" or by going to "edit" button on your toolbar and then selecting "paste."
  5. Click OK
