What are RSS feeds?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and it is a lightweight XML format that allows you to keep up to date with the latest news and jobs as they are published, without having to go directly onto the website that hosts this information. The Engineer offers two feeds: The Engineer News Feed and The Engineer Jobs Feed.

How to subscribe?
In order to subscribe to our RSS news feed you will need to get hold of an RSS feed reader that will allow you to collect and display RSS feeds. Alternatively, RSS functionality is built into the personalised sections of sites such as Google and Yahoo, or internet browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer 7.
1. Download a feed reader (or find RSS feed capabilities in your browser)
2. Choose one or more of the RSS feeds below and click on the button next to each feed:
The Engineer News

3. Cut & paste the feed URL into the feed reader
4. Follow the instructions of the feed reader (or browser) to access the RSS content - each feed reader/browser varies in its setup procedure.
