RSS Feeds

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) allows you to subscribe to certain content areas and get immediate notice when a new story or resource is posted. With RSS feeds you don’t need to check the website for new content.

RSS Readers

You can also choose to have RSS feeds delivered to a “feed reader” or “news aggregator.”

Feed readers are programs that know what to do with RSS files. Using a reader is simple way to view all your feeds at one time.

When a new story or resource in that area is uploaded to ILG’s website, its headline and introductory paragraph are delivered to your RSS reader for review. If you decide to read the entire story, simply click on the title of the story in your reader, and you’ll be taken right to that article.

Most readers are easy to use. Here are some examples of free readers:
