RSS

The main City web page is now available as an RSS feed.

widgetbox

Use whatever feedreader you like: "live links" bookmarks in your Firefox browser, the feed reader features of IE 7 or Opera, a Firefox extension such as Sage, Bloglines, Google Reader, the protopage feedreading widget etc. etc.

The police bulletins web log also has an RSS feed, as do the various library blogs.

If you want to receive any of these feeds via e-mail, rssfwd seems to be working. You will need to answer a single confirmation message then you will automatically start receiving the posts in your mail box. Look at the left hand column of the police bulletins log to see a link that will automatically give you an e-mail subscription. (You may need to tell your spam filter to allow mail from rssfwd.com to pass through.)

Additional information.
