Some content from Bark's website has been formatted according to the RSS 2.0 (Really Simple Syndication) format, also called a news "feed" or "channel." This provides a number of possibilites for people to read and share content from Bark:

  1. Other websites, such as conservation and forest issue sites, can use the RSS summary files (linked below) to embed headlines and brief descriptions from Bark articles within their content which then link back to the original articles on the Bark website.

  2. "Reader Applications" can be set up to read the Bark "feed", which enables one to peruse available news and information on the web without having to go to each site to view current headlines. These applications can either be web-based services, such as Rojo or NewsGator or stand-alone programs such as Pluck, NetNewsWire (Mac) or FeedDemon.

  3. Custom portal sites, such as MyYahoo! and Google , can add Bark articles alongside headlines from Reuters and the New York Times so you can stay on top of news affecting Mt. Hood National Forest amidst other news and entertainment sources.

  4. The free Firefox web-browser (Windows/Mac/Linux) has direct support for RSS feeds in the form of "Live Bookmarks" which you can add to your Bookmarks menu or browser toolbar, providing instant access to articles at any time from your browser. Whenever you see the orange icon , click on it to create a Live Bookmark from the current feed. Additionally, Mac users can obtain a similar functionality using Apple's Safari RSS.
