RSS feeds

What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a way of making information from websites readily available elsewhere - syndication. This works especially well for news, articles, and even audio or video content (podcasts).

Their convenience and ease of use has made RSS feeds very popular. Users can quickly see when new information is published and access it, without having to trawl round different websites looking for news.

POL has made available a RSS feed. This feed allow you to stay up to date with the latest news and features from POL. To subscribe to a particular feed, you will need a News Reader or other similar device (see 'how do I get a news reader' below).
