About RSS – Half-Masting of the Flag Notices

Would you like this Web site to tell you every time there is an update to the Half-masting of the Flag Notices page? Essentially, this is what an RSS feed does.

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a common format for Web feeds. A feed will send you regular summaries of Web content, including headlines that link you to the full text or Web page. When you subscribe to a feed using an RSS, you will be able to access summaries of new Web content in one place.

How do I use an RSS news feed?

• Select the RSS “Subscribe” link on the Half-masting of the Flag Notices page. You will be directed to the RSS feed.
• Copy the URL from the address bar of your browser and paste it in the "add new feed" field of your RSS reader.
• When news items are published, your news reader/aggregator will let you know through a small pop-up window or other alert device. If you close your news reader/aggregator, you will not be advised of updates until the next time you open it.
• If after reading a summary you want to view the full text, simply link to the full text document found on the Web site.
