RSS

What is RSS?

RSS is a way to provide items containing short descriptions of web content together with a link to the full version of the content to a variety of programs. It allows you to quickly scan news from multiple sites in one location.

Bloomfield College RSS feeds will allow you to read the news and events from the college at your own convenience.

How to use RSS feeds

To view our RSS feeds you will first need to acquire an RSS Reader or RSS Web application. To add one of the RSS feeds you click on the appropriate link, copy the URL and past it into your RSS Application. It's that easy.

As an alternative to downloading a program on your computer you can use a Web-based news reader. Some examples are My Yahoo! and MY MSN.
