C&G RSS Feeds
A new way of keeping you up-to-date
To make sure you have the latest information at your fingertips,
we're introducing a new form of communication – news feeds.
News feeds, also known as Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds,
are a very simple and convenient way for us to deliver new website
content to you, without you having to actually visit our site or
use search engines and web directories.
This means you'll be kept up-to-date, because as soon as new
information is published, your chosen news reader will display the
headline message, then all you need to do is click on it to read
the full article(s).
Any number of news feeds from different websites can be added to
your news reader.
What's a news reader?
This small icon is usually used to identify RSS news feeds.
However, if you click one of these links, you will most likely get
a page full of code in your browser. To properly read the news
feed, you need an RSS news reader – a piece of software that checks
the feeds and lets you read any new items that have been added.
Headlines of the news items are displayed, usually with a brief
summary included. The headline then links to the full article on
our website.
News readers allow you to add the web address of the news feeds
you are interested in. Once this is added, the news reader will
display the information. From then on, as soon as we add news items
to our website, your news reader will automatically update the
links viewed on your page.
There are a number of free or low-cost online, desktop, mobile
and Outlook-based news readers available. With web-based readers
such as NewsGator, you set up a log-in account and can then access
your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable
applications such as NewzCrawler will be launched from your
personal computer. Some readers such as Attensa integrate with
Microsoft Outlook and the Mozilla Firefox browser has a built-in
RSS news reader.
What news feeds will do for you
C&G news feeds will conveniently keep you
informed about any changes we're making.
We'll send through:
- Product news – hear about our new rates and any product updates
as soon as they're launched
- Policy changes – whenever there are significant
changes to the C&G mortgage lending policy, we'll let you
know
- Service updates – hear about enhancements to the service,
new offerings and any other key messages to help you to do business
with C&G and Lloyds TSB
What you should do next
- Choose the news reader you want to use (from the list
opposite)
- Either download and install it on your computer or sign-up
for an account (if choosing a web-based news feeder)
- Click on the orange RSS button or link below and follow the
instructions for your particular news reader to subscribe to the
C&G for Intermediaries news feed – usually by dragging or
copying and pasting the URL of the feed into a new feed in your
news reader
Now you're all set to receive our latest news at the click of a
button!
