What are RSS feeds ?
RSS feeds (meaning Really Simple Syndication or RDF Site Summary) are free information flows from websites. They include article titles, content summaries and links to full text articles available on-line. All the latest from Eider will thus automatically appear in your RSS reader, enabling you to stay up to date with all the Eider latest. An RSS feed will update itself automatically, so you don’t need to manually connect to the associated website.

What's it for ?
RSS feeds are a simple way of keeping up to date with all the latest news and information from Eider via your RSS reader.
Using an RSS reader, your computer will let you know as soon as new information is published. So instead of having to regularly check your favourite websites, all you have to do is click on a title in order to access the corresponding article, photos, videos etc.
In order to receive RSS feeds and keep up with all the latest from Eider, all you need to do is subscribe to the RSS feed, represented by this symbol: 
Several RSS readers (or aggregators) are available, including:
Your internet browser:
Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox both allow you to sign up to RSS feeds. Follow the links to subscribe and then choose a default browser. This will create a dynamic favourites page that will provide you with automatic access to published articles.
On-line readers:
Netvibes,
Bloglines,
Google Reader
and several other sites allow you to group in ‘graphic’ form all your RSS feed subscriptions. It’s free, all you have to do is sign up. You can then organise your feeds as you wish.
Directly using Microsoft Vista:
For Microsoft Vista users, an application is already designed to display all your RSS feed subscriptions on your desktop.
