Website Publishers
Our RSS feeds are available for use by third-party publishers who wish to publish them on websites (see Guidelines below).
Feed Usage Guidelines for Publishers
You are welcome to publish our feeds on your website, however we ask that you comply with the following guidelines:
- We ask that you only publish our headlines OR headlines plus introduction text with a link to the full-text on our own website. Feeds that re-publish content without meeting this requirement may be blocked.
- Please minimize the number of times you pull feeds to minimize unnecessary consumption of our bandwidth. We require that high traffic sites use an RSS or RDF solution rather than Javascript, for this reason. Additionally, we reserve the right in our absolute discretion, to block or limit access to our feeds.

What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It's an easy way for you to keep up with news and information that's important to you, and helps you avoid the conventional methods of browsing or searching for information on websites. The content you want can be delivered directly to you without cluttering your inbox with e-mail messages. This content is called a "feed."
What Is an RSS News Reader?
An RSS reader is a small software program that collects and displays RSS feeds. It allows you to scan headlines from a number of news sources in a central location.
Where Can I Get an RSS Reader?
Some browsers, such as the current versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari have built in RSS readers. If you're using a browser that doesn't currently support RSS, there are a variety of RSS readers available on the web; some are free to download and others are available for purchase.
How Do I Use RSS Feeds?
The first step is to choose an RSS reader. Each reader has a slightly different way of adding a new feed, also called a "channel." Follow the directions for your reader but, in most cases, here's how it works:
- Click on the link or small XML button near the feed you want. You'll see a page displaying XML code.
- From your web browser's address bar, copy the entire URL (web address).
- Paste that URL into the "Add New Channel"section of the reader. The RSS feed will start to display and regularly update the headlines for you.
