The Independent Institute offers the convenience of RSS feeds which provide a means to view and deliver news or articles that are posted on Independent.org to your website or desktop. The RSS feeds are organized into two channels. One channel for new op-eds, research articles, and working papers. The other channel mirrors the content of The Lighthouse, The Independent Institute’s weekly email newsletter. It provides information about updates throughout the site, news, and alerts about new site content, including articles, The Independent Review, events, student programs, and more. By subscribing to a channel, you can have important headlines delivered to your XML enabled website or desktop.
To get started:
- you need to install an RSS feed reader, (A reader is a software application similar in function to your email program—you will see headlines and descriptions in the channels you’ve subscribed to in this application—see the list of some of the available RSS readers)
- and subscribe to a channel. To subscribe you need to copy the channel URL into your reader.
Once you have subscribed, your reader will automatically check the channel for updates. For example, if we post a new article, and you’ve subscribed to our Articles Channel, you will see that this article has been added in your reader. You can go directly to that new article on Independent.org. This is a great way to keep up-to-date on our news and updated content.
Benefits of RSS Feeds
- You take control and determine which RSS channel you would like to view.
- You only view a headline and description making it easy for you to scan topics.
- The link will take you directly to that article.
- You are alerted when our site is updated.
RSS stands for Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication and is based on a technology known as XML. Among other things, RSS allows you to view headlines of the latest content posted on a website like Independent.org. You will need an RSS reader (also known as a news aggregator) to properly interpret the RSS feeds on the channel. These readers also allow you to subscribe to the channel. The advantage of an RSS feed is you only view the most recent changes to our site. This alerts you to an important change or addition that may be of interest to you.
