The News on the CCEEG Portal is provided by RSS Feeds from other websites.
RSS stands for "Rich Site Summary" (or "Really Simply Syndication"). It is a format for letting users know when web content has been added to a website without them having to go to the website. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.
See the Wikipedia entry or the Harvard Law specification for further details of RSS.
