What is RSS?

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" -- it's a format for distributing and gathering news from sources across the Web, including newspapers, magazines, and blogs. It's essentially a stripped down version of some of the information contained in the website.

The Pavilion Theatre RSS feed contains a listing of forthcoming shows at the theatre, linking to web pages where you can find out more information.

How do I access RSS?

You can view RSS Feeds by using an RSS Aggregator. A list of RSS Aggregators is available by searching your favourite Search Engine. For example, Google's list

Some web browsers have built in support for RSS, and RSS feeds can be easily added just like favourites. Also, some portal websites such as My Yahoo, My MSN etc allow users to add content in the form of RSS feeds to their customised homepage.

The Pavilion Theatre forthcoming show listings are now available in RSS format, and can be accessed at: http://www.paviliontheatre.co.uk/xml/shows/rss.asp While designed for machine reading, the Pavilion theatre rss feed can also be viewed with a normal web browser.
