RSS feeds

Salford City Council is making it easier for our visitors to view some of our frequently updated content.

We now provide three Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds that contain the most recent city council press releases, all of our current job vacancies, and events taking place for the current month.

What is RSS?
RSS is a format for publishing web content using a technology called XML. It does not provide an alternative to 'real' web pages, but instead provides enough information for you to decide if you wish to visit the page that the full content is on. This information typically consists of a title, brief description, and a web link to the full page.

How to use an RSS feed
If a website has provided an RSS feed that is available to the public, your web browser may indicate that it has detected the RSS content. More recent browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 display a 'feed detected' icon similar to this:

Your browser software may allow you to add a bookmark, or favourite, that can read our RSS information and allow you to visit a page containing more information about the job, event, or press release.

Alternatively... you may use dedicated RSS feed software called an aggregator. An aggregator program will automatically download the RSS feeds that you have subscribed to and allow you to browse them even while you are offline. Rather than make specific recommendations for aggregator software, you may view a comprehensive list of them, or read a more detailed description of aggregators.
