Free News Feed about buying property in Cyprus
News feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get
the latest headlines and video in one place, as soon as its published, without
having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.
Feeds are also known as RSS. There is some discussion as to what RSS stands for, but most people plump for 'Really Simple Syndication'. In essence, the feeds themselves are just web pages, designed to be read by computers rather than people. There are many free news feeds like mine, about buying property in Cyprus, others you have to pay for.
Can I use these feeds on my site?
How do I start using feeds?
In general, the first thing you need is something called a news reader. This is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications. Some news readers are free, others are not.
Browser-based news readers let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications let you store them on your main computer, in the same way that you either download your e-mail using Outlook, or keep it on a web-based service like Hotmail.
Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want it to receive.
There are thousands of news feeds available on just about every subject you could imagine! Most of them use the same orange button as shown here and most of them are free.
If you click on the RSS button
(left) you can subscribe to my free news feed about buying property in Cyprus in various ways,
including by dragging the button of the feed into your news reader or by cutting
and pasting the same URL into a new feed in your news reader. Most sites that
offer feeds use a similar orange button, but some may just have a normal web
link.
Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, automatically check for feeds for you when you visit a website, and display an icon when they find one. This can make subscribing to feeds much easier. For more details on these, please check their websites.

I encourage webmasters to use my free news feed about buying property in Cyprus as part of their website. Although it is free, I do require that the proper attribution is used when my news content appears and a link to the original article on my website. The attribution text should read "Copyright © Nigel Howarth All Rights Reserved" & the title of the article should contain a hyperlink to the original article on my website.
