How to use them
In a feed reader (Feedly, Inoreader, NetNewsWire and others): copy a feed address above and paste it into your reader’s “add feed” or “follow” box. New items appear on their own.
On your website: most website builders and WordPress have an RSS block or widget — paste in a feed address to show upcoming events or new local businesses on your own page. Each item shows a short summary and links back to the full page on VanIsleNet.
Event feeds list upcoming events, soonest first, with dates, times, location and price where we have them. Business feeds list the newest verified listings. Feeds update automatically as we add things.
Prefer your calendar? Every events page also has a “Subscribe to this calendar” option at the bottom for Apple, Outlook and Google Calendar.
