What is a RSS-Feed?

RSS (abbreviation for Really Simple Syndication) is a technology making possible to subscribe the contents of whole web pages - or parts of it . New contents can be loaded automatically on your computer (or other terminals), as soon as they are published. Thus you are automatically and comfortably supplied with new information without having to visit the web. In order to be able to receive RSS-feeds, you must install a RSS–feed reader program first. If you are using Firefox or Internet Explorer 7 or higher you do not need a separate RSS-feed reader, because this browser is able to save RSS feeds as “dynamic bookmarks” .

On arthistoricum.net you can subscribe to contents of the category "/NEW in arthistoricum.net" and receive current information about  new content updates. You can subscribe to the RSS feed by entering http://www.arthistoricum.net/blog/?feed=rss2 into your feed reader or by simply clicking on the RSS-symbol  in your browser.
