A great way to keep up to date with VAR is to subscribe to one or more of our RSS feeds.

What are RSS feeds?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and RSS news feeds are designed deliver immediate web-based information without having to visit lots of different websites. RSS news feeds are increasingly taking over from email bulletins as they make the information available as soon as it is added to the website, and potentially give the subscriber many more options about how they subscribe and manage the information they receive.

Most modern web-browsers (for example Internet Explorer 7 and FireFox) allow you to subscribe to RSS feeds, and if you are really keen you can use a specialist tool which might be a web-based RSS feed reader (such as Google Reader) or a software application (such as FeedDemon).

Many modern mobile phones and other portable devices include tools to subsribe to RSS feeds.
