Update notifications

All additions to RoHT's translated/archived content can be followed. Use the site's Atom and RSS newsfeeds.

Modern news readers and browsers should find them automatically. From https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10628494:

Most modern browsers, including Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome automatically check for feeds when you visit a website, and display the orange RSS icon when they find one. Many of them allow you to add RSS feeds as a browser favourite or bookmark folder, automatically updating them with the latest content.

If required, manually configure your preferred news reader by using the following link styles.

To track all new articles, use:

• RoHT's Atom feed, or

• RoHT's RSS feed.

To manually configure your newsreader to track updates to individual categories, authors or tags, use the below examples as templates:

• RSS:

  • Follow updates to the 'mylnikovdm' category by subscribing RSS news readers to '/category/mylnikovdm/feed'

  • Follow updates from author 'Dmitry Anatolyevich' by subscribing RSS news readers to '/author/dmitry-anatolyevich/feed'

  • Follow updates tagged 'Tartaria' by subscribing RSS news readers to '/tag/tartaria/feed'

• Atom:

  • Follow updates to the 'mylnikovdm' category by subscribing Atom news readers to '/feeds/mylnikovdm.category.atom.xml'

  • Follow updates from author 'Dmitry Anatolyevich' by subscribing Atom news readers to '/feeds/dmitry-anatolyevich.author.atom.xml'
