What's RSS?

RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed", or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place *.

RSS in corlive.com

You can use corlive.com RSS feed to get your messages in your favorite RSS reader.
There are two ways of doing this - the first one works well in Firefox or Internet Explorer as long as you are logged in (using these browsers).
The second one lets you get the feed from any RSS reader - you need to add your user name and API password to the URL.

The first way:
The URL is http://corlive.com/account_rss.php
Firefox/IE only, you must be logged in to see the messages. Simply click the above link and add the feed to your web browser.

The second way:
First, you need to open your account | preferences | access, and setup the so called "API password". This is a special password, which should be different than your main password, and which enables you to get a "read only" access to your account via RSS (and other methods which will be implemented in the future).
After you specify the API password, you can use the following url:
http://corlive.com/account_rss.php?user=YourCorliveNick&apipassword=YourApiPassword
Change "YourCorliveNick" to your nick, and "YourApiPassword" to your newly created API password.
