Why wait? Receive the engineering news, feature articles, product coverage, and columns as soon as they are published by CSE. Depending on which RSS news aggregator you use, you can subscribe by dragging the orange "XML" button into your news aggregator program ir simply right-click on the "XML" button and choose "Copy shortcut," then paste the address into your RSS news aggregator program.
What is RSS and how do I use it?
RSS (really simple syndication) allows Websites to make their most recent content available to you automatically. A program called an RSS reader, or "aggregator," helps you to organize and view the various RSS feeds that you choose to subscribe to. Most feeds (CSE's included) contain a headline, an abstract, and a link to each article. The power of RSS lies in its ability to cut out the clutter and aggregate all of the news that you want into one place.
CSE has made this service available so that mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers have quicker, easier access to the news, products, trends, and headlines that shape the design and construction industry.
First you need to load an RSS aggregator program onto your computer. Generally, these programs come in two forms: a program that you install on your computer, or a Web-based service. Here is a Website with a good list of RSS aggregator programs. Yahoo! subscribers can get started with RSS using "My Yahoo!", where one can make RSS feeds part of their own customized home page. Yahoo! also makes available a list of Frequently Asked Questions about RSS. Another RSS program is, Newsgator, which one can use in either of two versions, one that is browser-based and another version that is an installable product but integrates directly into Microsoft Outlook.
