RSS Feeds

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication," a standard for subscribing to content on the Internet. Our RSS feeds consist of a list of items, each of which contains a headline, first sentence or two of the article, and a link to a web page on thestar.com.

See below for a select list of Toronto Star RSS feeds and for more on using them.

What do I need to get started?
For most users, you can simply click on one of the links at left or anywhere you see the RSS icon on our site and follow your web browser's instructions to subscribe to the feed, add it to your bookmarks or to your personalized pages. Alternatively, you can also copy the RSS address by right-clicking on the link and choosing "Copy link location," then use this address to add the feed to your personalized page.

What if clicking the link gives me a bunch of code?
If your browser does not support RSS feeds, you can download a newsreader. There are many different types of RSS readers. Many of the programs are free and can be found by Googling RSS readers. Right-click on the RSS feed you want and choose "Copy link location" and then use this address to subscribe to the feed in your RSS reader.

Here is a list of some of the more popular RSS/Atom readers:
