Source Water Protection - What is an RSS Feed?

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an XML-based format for distributing content from Web sites. The South Georgian Bay - Lake Simcoe Source Water Protection ("SGB-LS SWP") offers two RSS feeds on this site. The SGB-LS SWP News and the SGB-LS SWP Events feeds have headlines, descriptions and links back to the SGB-LS SWP Web site for full stories.

You will find links to these feeds on the left-hand side of this site under the main menu. Both feeds are accompanied by the RSS feed logo .

You may access these feeds by either clicking on the link and draging the feed link into your feed reader application, or if that doesn't work, right-click the feed icon, select "Copy Shortcut" or "Copy Link Location", and then use your feed reader's "subscribe" function with the link you copied.

If you are using a browser that features a built-in feed reader application (such as Mozilla Firefox), you may click on the RSS link and following directions presented on that page.

There are lots of excellent free feed readers around (sometimes called "news aggregators"). You may search Google for feed readers by clicking here: Google RSS Feed search.
