About Wingra's RSS News Feed

RSS, which stands for rich site summary or really simple syndication, is a method for distributing news headlines and links to more information. It's a way for busy people to stay on top of the news they're interested in without having to visit several different websites.

Wingra has two news feeds, which link to articles in the latest issues of the newsletters:

• Friends of Wingra quarterly alumni eNewsletter feed: http://www.wingraschool.org/rss/fow.xml
• Weekly Family eNewsletter feed (To protect the privacy of our current students, this feed is only available to our current families.): http://www.wingraschool.org/family/eow.xml

Using a news reader/aggregator

To collect news from websites that use RSS, you'll need special software called a news reader or news aggregator. This software is often free or inexpensive and available for download.

Once you have a news reader, you're ready to find sources of news ("feeds"):

1. Go to your favorite websites to see if they offer news feeds. Look for the "RSS" or "XML" symbol.
2. Click on the symbol to get the URL of the feed.
3. Enter the URL into your news reader. You only need to do this once for each site.

Your news reader will automatically and periodically check all the sites you enter for the latest headlines.
