Subscribing to the Blog

What is RSS?

RSS is a quick and convenient way of keeping in touch with OPSIS news and updates. It stands for Really Simple Syndication, and is content that can be read by special "feed" reading software or a web service you can use from your web browser.

What is the difference between RSS and Internet browsing?

With normal Internet browsing you have to remember to re-visit a website, or blog page to see what's new. Whereas RSS will automatically gather the latest news from any number of news feeds you are interested in, and display their headlines in one convenient place for you to read - without having to visit each website in turn.

Simply put the address of OPSIS's web feed into your reader, and it will display the latest news headlines, each one with a synopsis and link that will take you to the full story.

How to Subscribe

You can subscribe to the OPSIS RSS Feed as follows:

You will need a News Reader or other similar software. One such reader is "RSS Reader", available at www.rssreader.com. There are many others such as Windows My Live, My Yahoo, Bloglines, Newsgator, Netvibes, or one of a variety of other popular newsreaders.

The RSS Feed URL to use in your blog newsreader software is:-

http://www.opsisltd.info/wordpress/feed/

Click on the orange RSS button – this will open a page listing the current items in the feed.

Copy and paste the web address (URL) of that page into your News Reader – usually done in the "add new feed" or "subscribe to new feed" box.

Once subscribed, whenever we create a news topic, your newsreader will show you the latest post(s). The screenshot below shows Windows Live displaying the latest posts from the blog.

The blog provides a number of useful features too.

For example:-

• It will provide Printer-Friendly pages for printing off articles
• Allows you to Email an article you think would be useful to a friend
• Has a comprehensive Search facility
• Uses Categories and keyword Tags for related topics
• Provides Links to various other industry related resources
• Allows you to add your own Comments on articles we have posted to promote discussion with other visitors to the blog.

We hope you find the blog useful.
