News RSS

[Nuct]

I clicked on the News RSS feed, and the page showed up like..:

http://www.habbo.co.uk/news/rss.xml

If you opened it up in IE6, it'd display just xml tags and coding etc. In IE7 it'd display the news, and same with FireFox.

There's nothing wrong at all, it's what RSS (Really simple syndication) is. If you have a RSS reader, you input the URL of the RSS feed (http://www.habbo.co.uk/news/rss.xml) and everytime new news is posted on habbo uk, that page (The XML) updates and then your Feed Reader tells you thats somethings been posted on Habbo UK.

Quite confusing to get your head around at first, but very very useful when you understand, they're getting a lot more popular around the internet and there's plenty of ways RSS readers these days, in FireFox and IE7 you can use the bookmarking for it, you can get MSN add-ons, vista has something to do it as well, google toolbar does it, things like del.ico.us do it, gmail even does it and so do most Email Applications, like Outlook & Thunderbird.

It's hard to explain :P
