I have created a RSS/XML Feed for my weather web site. You
can use the RSS feed to download weather information that I publish thru
a RSS/XML Reader like SharpReader.
What is RSS?
RSS has several meanings: Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary,
and RDF Site Summary where RDF in turn stands for Resource Data
Framework. In any case it is a method of summarizing the latest news and
information from a website in a lightweight form that can be easily read
by any of a number of news readers or news aggregators. The idea is to
give users the ability to quickly obtain the latest news and updates
from a site in a headline or news digest format. This in turn helps
during high-traffic periods by reducing the load on the servers.
What do I need to use the RSS feeds?
To use our RSS feeds, you need a feed reader or news aggregator
installed on your computer. These are applications that can be set to
read the feeds on a recurring basis, generally once an hour or so.
Once you have installed a feed reader or news aggregator, you simply
add the Tracy Weather Center feed address to the list of feeds in the reader. The
installation instructions for the readers will help you with that. If
your newsreader or aggregator uses "auto-discovery" then simply enter
our main web address (http://www.TracyMNWeather.com/Weather/TracyWeather.xml) and it will find the
feed.
