About Our RSS and XML Newsfeeds
At this moment in time you probably
have no idea what an RSS feed is - worry not!
All you need to know is that it's the very latest
way for you to enjoy the news you want without
all the problems associated with e-mail and browsing
through the internet. The best part is that the
news you subscribe to is delivered directly to
you through your web browser without the bother
of e-mail.
Companies have been publishing
RSS Newsfeeds for years now but the problem has
been that Microsoft have been slow to embrace them
... But that's all changed.
So, How Do You Get to
View RSS News?
First you'll need an RSS news
reader. Microsoft have now programmed this into
the latest version of Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer

With previous versions of IE,
it’s pretty tough to know when a web page
has a news feed available. With IE 7, the web page
is scanned to see if the publisher has associated
a news feed with that page. If a news feed is found,
the news feed button on the toolbar lights up.
In addition, the user can configure a sound to
play when a feed is found, and the same of list
of feeds associated with the page can be found
under the Tools menu.

Step 1: Once
you start using Internet Explorer 7 and navigate
to a Government Auctions Page you'll see the RSS
symbol light up in your browser.
Step 2: Click
on the symbol and you'll see the feeds displayed
- they consist of headlines, a few lines of the
story and a link to see the whole story.
Step 3: Add the
feed to your favourites and whenever Government
Auctions publish news (several times a day) Internet
Explorer can be set to alert you.

If you want to try Firefox which
we all love and
is an alternative to Internet Explorer you can
download it using the link.
It's a really clean user experience
and is highly recommended.
The RSS News utility can be found
in the bottom right corner of the Firefox browser.

Step 1: When
clicked it allows you to subscribe to a newsfeed
- just save it to a relevant folder.
Step 1: To view
the feed just visit the folder where you bookmarked
the feed. As you click on each headline the full
story will be viewed and Firefox will alert you
once a feed is updated.
Once you discover your RSS feature
you a whole new world of news will open up to you
that you didn't know existed! Once you have chosen
a news reader, all you have to do is to decide
what content you want. For example, if you would
like the latest BBC News Entertainment stories,
simply visit the Entertainment section and you
will notice an orange RSS button on the left hand
side.
