Information about and help using RSS feeds

What is RSS?
RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication' and it provides a way for you to quickly view information that is relevant to you. With RSS you can directly get the information you wants, which might be the latest jobs near you or to keep up to date with what is happening in your beat area.


How can I use an RSS feed?
We have set-up our RSS feeds in such a way that you can simply bookmark the RSS feed you are interested in. Then when you view the bookmark in the future, you will instantly be able to view the information you are interested in.


To get the most out of RSS, you'll need to use an RSS reader. These are programs designed to read in RSS feeds and present the information in an easy to read way.


How do I identify an RSS feed?
Typically any website with an RSS feed will display a small orange icon like RSS or XML. By clicking on the icon you will then view the RSS feed.


Using an Avon and Somerset police website RSS feed on your website
Please feel free to use any of the RSS feeds we provide on your website, although please credit where the RSS feed came from and provide a link to this website.
