RSS Feed
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a system that allows you to
be notified when websites have published new information. To use
this service, the website must provide a link that is called a feed,
and you must have a program called an RSS news reader, sometimes
called an aggregator. There are many free and low-cost news readers
that you can download for the particular computer platform you are
using. Also, some newer browsers support RSS, so you can enjoy the
benefits of RSS directly in your browsing environment.
After you launch your reader and subscribe to your favorite websites'
feeds, the reader will display new items from those websites. The
reader works with your browser such that by clicking a link in the
reader, you will be taken to that item in your browser.
At HawaiiDiner.com we have three feeds; one for reviews, articles
and newsletters, collectively called stories; a second for podcasts;
and a third that feeds both. Our feeds are configured this way to
give you the option of using one news reader for everything, or
separate news readers: one for stories and one for podcasts. If
you don't know what a podcast is, click here.

News readers differ in the way that they function, but there are
generally two ways you can subscribe.
1) If your reader has the capability, you can scan a website
for the correct link. Enter www.hawaiidiner.com in the appropriate
place in your reader to perform a scan and select the feed that
you want.
2) You can explicitly tell your reader where the link is located.
Enter the feed that you want from above in the appropriate place
in your reader to give it the link.
Note that if you go to these links in your browser, you will see
what appears to be gibberish because the links are meant for a news
reader.
The links below will help you find a news reader. Please remember
that RSS news readers are created by third parties, and as such
we have no control over how they function or any problems you may
encounter should they not work properly.
