UUA RSS Feed
Subscribe to the Unitarian Universalist Association's (UUA) RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed to get front page headlines delivered directly to your desktop! Our RSS feed will inform you when fresh content appears on this site with headlines and links to full articles—so you spend less time searching for content and more time enjoying it. Our feed is optimized by FeedBurner.- UUA Top Stories: Featuring the most recent headlines from UUA.org.
In the future we plan on making more subject-specific feeds available like Sermons, Religious Education, or Social Justice Issues so you can always get the news you want the way you want it.
What is RSS?
RSS is a format for sharing and distributing web content. You can view news feeds from various websites, such as UUA.org, by using a newsreader. Most newsreaders present you with easy-to-browse headlines and short summaries of the latest information, including links that will take you directly to the full article. You will receive new content as soon as it is made available—no more searching your favorite sites for the latest news!
Remember, UUA.org publishes updates and new stories continuously, but your RSS reader determines how frequently you get those updates. Most readers give you the ability to adjust these setting

More about RSS
Using RSS feeds, a wide range of software programs and websites can monitor all your favorite websites for you, including UUA.org, letting you know whenever new content has been published.
Some web browsers—including the latest versions of Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer 7—allow you to subscribe to RSS feeds directly. New UUA.org headlines will show up in your browser’s bookmarks. Many websites—like Yahoo!, Google, and many Internet service providers’ homepages—offer personalized homepages to which you can add RSS feeds. (See my.yahoo.com and reader.google.com, for example.) Software is also available to monitor RSS feeds on your computer desktop, including FeedDemon for Windows and NewsFire for Apple computers. These programs are called news readers or RSS aggregators.
RSS stands for “really simple syndication.” RSS feeds are specially formatted files used by news readers and some web browsers to summarize new headlines or recent changes to a website. Unlike a web page, which is formatted to make it easy for a browser to display, an RSS feed is formatted to make it easy for news readers to use. Clicking a link to a UUA.org feed may take you to a page that looks like a jumble of code. (If you’re using an up-to-date browser, you may instead see a nicely formatted summary.) But if you copy and paste the link into a news reader, the news reader will begin showing UUA.org headlines alongside headlines from other sites you subscribe to.
Many newspapers and magazines, institutions, and blogs now publish RSS feeds to make it easier for readers to know when their website has been updated or new information has been published.
