Answers

1. What is an RSS feed?

A feed, also known as RSS feed, XML feed, syndicated content, or web feed, is frequently updated content published by a website. It is usually used for news and blog websites, but can also be used for distributing other types of digital content, including pictures, audio or video. Feeds can also be used to deliver audio content (usually in MP3 format) which you can listen to on your computer or MP3 player. This is referred to as podcasting.

Boone County uses RSS feeds to allow citizens to receive information on county updates without having to browse and look for the information.

2. Does an RSS feed cost me anything?

No. Many RSS feed readers are available for free download on the internet. If you have an account with Google or Yahoo a reader is included with your account.

You copy the url of the feed and paste it into your reader. Or you can view the raw feed and click the 'subscribe to this feed' link.

4. What feeds does the county offer?
