How Use a Look4aProperty RSS Feed
Would you like to get up to date house listings in specific areas, both in the UK and Overseas via an RSS feed? If so then you have come to the right place because its simple with Look4aProperty.com!
Simply navigate to the property results page of your choice and click on the RSS icon 
at the top of the results list highlighted in our graphic. You can then subscribe to the RSS feed using your favourite RSS reader or web browser (depending upon which type you use) on the subsequent page.
What Is RSS?
RSS feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest content, in this instance property listings, 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.
How Do I Start Using RSS 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.
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. For example on Look4aProperty, if you would like the latest properties for sale in Chelsea, simply visit this page and you will notice an orange button at the top of the property results list.
Many other websites use RSS feeds. If you would like the latest BBC News World video stories, visit the Video and Audio section of the BBC News Website (www.bbc.co.uk/newsvideoaudio) and click on the button at the bottom of the World section.
If you click on the RSS button on the property results page you can subscribe to the feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL 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.
How Do I Get a News Reader?
There is a range of different news readers available and new versions are appearing all the time.
Different news readers work on different operating systems, so you will need to choose one that will work with your computer.
