What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based format for distributing and aggregating Web content (such as news headlines).

Using RSS, Web content providers can easily create and disseminate feeds of data that include, for example, news links, headlines, and summaries

What are the terms of use?

The feeds are provided free of charge. We ask that you provide attribution to Iraq Updates Limited in connection with your use of the feeds.

If you provide this attribution in text, please use: "Iraq Updates Limited" If you provide this attribution with a graphic, please use the Iraq Updates Limited logo that is included in the feed itself.

We reserve all rights in and to the Iraq Updates Limited logo, and your right to use the Iraq Updates Limited logo is limited to providing attribution in connection with these RSS feeds.

How can I use RSS?

Typical applications for consuming or using RSS feeds include:

Using a program known as a News Aggregator to collect, update and display RSS feeds Incorporating RSS feeds into weblogs

News Aggregators (also called news readers) will download and display RSS feeds for you. A number of free and commercial News Aggregators are available for download. Popular news readers include AmphetaDesk, NetNewsWire, and Radio Userland.

Another way many people use RSS feeds is by incorporating content into weblogs, or "blogs". Blogs are web pages comprised of usually short, frequently updated items and web links. Blogging as a publishing tool is used for many purposes: traditional journalism, personal journals, group discussions around a topic, and many combinations in-between.

We also have a simple javascript solution where you can integrate news content without having to use a news aggregator tool.
