RSS CHANNELS

Channels

We have two channels available. One sends out the complete text of the weekly newsletter each Saturday; the other tells you about new and updated pages on the Web site. The URLs for the two feeds are given below. Copy and paste them into your RSS reader to receive the feeds:

Or select either or both of these buttons from any page to subscribe using a variety of online Web-based RSS readers:

About RSS

You can access our RSS feeds in three different ways. You can install a news reader program on your computer and tell it which of our RSS feeds you want to receive. Or you can read your chosen channels using an online Web-based service that does much the same job. And as a third possibility, most recent browsers offer you the option to access our RSS channels within the browser.

Using a news reader: A news reader is software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added from multiple sources. There are many different versions.

Using an online service: These usually require you to set up a personal subscription and then decide which RSS feeds you want to take. Essentially, they are a direct equivalent to news-reader applications, but accessed using your browser. If you are a Yahoo! subscriber, see the special instructions below.

Using your browser: Some browsers automatically check for feeds for you when you visit a Web site, and display the RSS icon when they find one. If the RSS logo is in the URL box at the top of your browser just click on it, choose which of our two RSS feeds you want and click the subscribe now button. If the RSS logo doesn't appear in the URL box, then your browser doesn't support RSS and you will need to get a news reader or subscribe using a Web-based reader.
