  • UQCC RSS news Get information automatically using news feeds
    The easiest way to stay informed about club website updates is to use RSS news. It is a very easy and convenient method that eliminates the need to keep checking the website. RSS allows the latest information to be automatically updated on your computer. Methods of accessing RSS feeds include –

    • Email programs – RSS feeds appear as a “mail box”.
      If your mail application supports RSS, enter the URL for the RSS feed into the mail application’s settings (e.g. “Add RSS feed” menu option). The RSS feed can be set to look like a mail box, and the information appear with your email. A guide to setting this up is here.

    • Screen savers – screen savers show latest news
      Add an RSS screen saver module to your computer, and link it to the website’s news feed.

      • Windows computers: RSS screen savers are available here and here and here
      • Mac OS computers (10.4 and up): An RSS screen saver is built in. Go to the RSS visualiser in the screen saver panel of your system preferences. Select the UQ canoe club RSS feed in the options (make sure you’ve already bookmarked the RSS feed in Safari so it appears on the list).

    • Web browsers – show the number of unread items next to the bookmark.
      Bookmark the RSS link in your web browser. When new articles are posted on a web page, the corresponding number of new articles will automatically appear at the end of the bookmark in the browser. Clicking on the bookmark will display a short summary of all the new articles. Clicking on the summaries will bring up the full article. An “RSS” icon may appear in a the address field of a webpage in your browser (see the address field for this page). Clicking on this button will show/hide the site’s RSS feed.
