| What is RSS? |
| RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based format for sharing and distributing Web content, such as news headlines. Using an RSS reader, you can view data feeds from various news sources, such as NASD's website, including headlines, summaries, links to full stories. |
| What does NASD deliver to you? |
| Our RSS Feed will deliver you all of the Non-Sporting Event, Sporting Event, and NASD-TV Schedules daily to your RSS reader. Additionally, you will be delivered our top news stories and information regarding school closings. While that same information will always be available on our website, it is comforting to know that this information will also be available at your convenience, delivered to your RSS reader. |
| How do I access RSS? |
| RSS/News Aggregators:
RSS/News Aggregators (also called Readers) will download and display RSS feeds for you. A number of free and commercial News Aggregators are available for download:
Weblogs:Many aggregators are separate, "stand-alone" programs; other services will let you add RSS feeds to a Web page. This includes MSN and My Yahoo!
Another way many people use RSS feeds is by incorporating content into weblogs, or "blogs". Blogs are web pages comprised of usually short, frequently updated items and web links. Blogging as a publishing tool is used for many purposes: traditional journalism, personal journals, group discussions around a topic, and many combinations in-between.

| Who is using RSS? |

| Should I use RSS? |
| Well, that depends. If you regularly go to multiple news sites, like some of those mentioned above, using RSS will consolidate your headlines into one easy to use reader. Look at it like a personal e-newspaper with only what you want to read. |
