[Note: We are experimenting with using Feedburner to manage our RSS feeds, so please use this URL in your feed readers: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Gameology. The original Atom and RSS feeds will still work, but Feedburner offers a more streamlined solution and we encourage users to take advantage of it. This page will be updated to reflect the switch once we decide to make it permanent.]
This site offers syndicated feeds of its content. These are basically XML documents using RSS (Really Simple Syndication) formatting that lists recently updated content from this site. You can "subscribe" to these feeds and view lists of recent entries as "headlines" in your favorite RSS-friendly client. These are what Firefox calls "live bookmarks" and they're updated in your toolbar or whever you put your bookmarks.
Internet Explorer has similar functionality, but I confess I haven't used it enough to know how it works. The forthcoming Internet Explorer 7 does, however, have a subscription manager built into its toolbar.
Opera (naturally) has built-in RSS capabilities which work rather well and integrate smoothly into the browser.
You can also use Thunderbird (and maybe Outlook?) as a standalone newsreader.
For information about RSS, Wikipedia's entry on the subject is comprehensive.
On this site, we offer 4 subscription options (or any combination thereof):
- Academic Gamers
- This feed reports entries to our general blog, Academic Gamers.
- CFPs
- This feed lists updates to our ongoing list of Calls for Papers.
- Reviews
- New reviews are added to this feed.
- Front Page (everything)
- This is a "catch all" feed that lists most of the content that gets posted here. This includes blog entries, reviews, CFPs, and calendar events. This one will be updated the most frequently, and in fact, I recommend this feed over the other ones. We just wanted to provide options in case you don't want to hear about every little thing.
All our feeds should validate and seem to work, but if you have problems using any of them, please contact us.
