  • What is an RSS Feed?

    RSS is commonly translated as "Really Simple Syndication" or sometimes "Rich Site Summary". It is used to automatically publish frequently updated content such as news headlines, events, etc. RSS Feeds benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites.

  • What is an RSS Reader?

    RSS feeds can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "aggregator", which can be web-based, desktop-based, or mobile-device-based. A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering into the reader the feed's URI or by clicking an RSS icon (Get Adobe Reader) in a web browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds. Using an RSS aggregator to monitor the ABL RSS Feeds makes so much sense: you can let the information come to you rather than having to constantly check for new information yourself.

  • Can I use Microsoft Outlook as my RSS Reader?

    Yes! If you are an Outlook user, Outlook offers excellent RSS features. Click the RSS icon (Get Adobe Reader) and let Outlook handle the details.

  • When is an RSS Feed Updated?

    RSS Feeds are updated as soon as new content is posted to our website.

  • Who can access ABL RSS Feeds?

    RSS feeds are free and can be monitored by anyone with an RSS reader/aggregator.
