Berkeley Lab News Center Web Feeds

Web feeds, also called RSS feeds or Atom feeds depending on the underlying technology used, are created in a language called XML that enables users to receive news on their desktops, web browsers or feed readers.

There are different ways to receive a feed. If you have a browser capable of reading feeds directly such as Firefox or Safari, simply click on a feed icon or link. Firefox also supports feed reader extensions such as Sage, in which case users may drag a feed link into the Sage panel to make that feed available.

See the Lab's Wiki for a web feed overview.
