News Feeds

Penguicon is now able to offer RSS news feeds.

With the move to a new webhost and the new site layout Penguicon is now able to offer RSS news feeds. Watch the website over the next few days as this feature is enabled on some of our content.

What is RSS?
RSS stands for "Real Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary." When a web page such as a news site or blog has been set up to offer this, there are several ways to access it.

If you have a news feed aggregator program, you can give it the web address of the page in order to have it collect all the news and announcement headlines from that page. You can quickly browse the summary by opening the aggregator, or it can notify you as updates occur. Some of them give you a ticker-tape text scroll, summarizing the latest changes of the sites you are subscribed to.

If you are surfing to an RSS-enabled page with the Firefox web browser, an orange symbol will appear in the bottom-right-hand corner below the scroll bar. If you click this symbol you will set up a "Live Bookmark." This means that when you click that bookmark, instead of taking you to the site it will give you a drop-down menu summarizing the latest changes of the sites you are subscribed to.
