What are Feeds?

A site feed or "RSS feed" allows you to subscribe to the content of a website in the same way you would subscribe to a magazine or a newspaper. Instead of having to go to a website to check to see if there’s new content, you only check your feed reader, a simple software that delivers a site's content to you. When there’s new content on CGD, it appears in your reader alongside any other site feeds you subscribe to. You’ll see new articles, publications, events, blog posts and jobs as soon as we publish them.

What is a Feed Reader?
A feed reader (aka an RSS reader or news reader) is your virtual doorstep where the content from your subscriptions is delivered. Checking this one spot will tell you which of your favorite web sites have new content. Some popular web-based RSS readers:

Site feeds can also be ready by personalized homepages that you're likely already using such as:

Additionally, the ability to subscribe to RSS feeds is built into browsers like Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox and software like Microsoft Outlook 2007, Google Desktop Gadgets, Mac Dashboard Widgets, and Microsoft Gadgets.

How do I Subscribe to CGD's Feeds?
The easiest way to subscribe is to click on the links marked with the RSS feed symbol RSS Feed at the top of this page, which will take you to a page that will allow you to select your feed reader software of choice. For example, clicking "CGD Latest News" above and then clicking "My Yahoo" in the box at the upper right of the following page will then display the latest CGD news on your customized Yahoo home page.

Browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox make subscribing much easier by showing the RSS feed symbol either on a toolbar (IE) or in the address bar (Firefox) which indicates that there's a feed available. Click on that symbol and it will subscribe to the feed using your favorite reader. If you're using other software that can read RSS feeds, you can click on the links to the feeds above, copy the address and paste it into the software's request for the feed's address.
