PALS Blogs

The PALS news feeds use a data format called RSS to let you automatically receive updates concerning the PALS service areas, without having to constantly visit our site. It's an option we provide for the convenience of members who like to get information that way.

To get a PALS feed, you use software called an aggregator or RSS reader and subscribe to a feed. In general, you can subscribe to a feed by pasting its Web address into a form on the aggregator. Subscribing to a number of different feeds makes it easy to keep on top of news from a variety of sources.

The addresses of our feeds are:

For a nice list of aggregators, see this page at Blogspace. Some aggregators for wireless devices are listed toward the end of this Daily Wireless article.
