== Displaying images RSS feeds == RSS means Real Simple Syndication. It's a standard code format for feeding various news reader applications (including web browsers) with news summaries and corresponding links to articles. For example, do a Google news search at [http://news.google.com http://news.google.com] for any given keyword or phrase. Thereafter scroll to the bottom of the page and find the RSS link by the RSS symbol [[File:RSS_icon.png]]. Follow the link to the URL of the raw RSS feed. The web browser may automatically display the news items of a raw RSS feed in a tidy HTML format as well as offer to add the newsfeed to a browser's [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/livebookmarks.html Live Bookmarks] as well as various social bookmarking applications (Google Reader, My Yahoo, Bloglines etc.). Alternatively, the browser may display the raw RSS feed in XML code. Either way, just copy the location of the page (URL) and place it within the <rss>...</rss> tags, as the following example: <pre><rss>http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss|short|date|max=20</rss></pre> The output of the above example, which is a search for the phrase ''madagascar lemurs'', becomes: <rss>http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss|short|date|max=20</rss> '''Note:''' Not only [http://news.google.com Google News] offer RSS feeds but many major as well as niche portals do; wherever you see the familiar RSS button, it should be compatible.
