How
do I use RSS?
A RSS feed can be viewed like bookmarks in Mozilla
Firefox, browsed like email in Thunderbird,
or viewed like headines in news readers including Pluck,
Awasu, FeedDemon,
RssReader,
etc. It enables you to view the service you select all together on
the same interface by automatically retrieving updates, staying current
with new content as soon as it is published.

Whenever you see the
or button on a webpage,
it should link to a RSS feed URL that you can subscribe via your news
reader or web browser.
The basic procedure is as follows:
- Copy the RSS feed URL you want.
- Paste it into the channel list or address
bar of your news reader. As for Mozilla Firefox, select "New
Live Bookmark" and add the URL.
- Choose to refresh or continue / stop subscribing
the feed.
Another way to use RSS feeds is by incorporating
content into your web logs (blogs). A blog is an easy-to-use website,
where you can quickly post topics, messages, journals, and interact
with people, comprised of short articles, frequently updated items,
pictures and hyperlinks. Blogging is a publishing tool for journalists,
writers, and individuals who want to share thoughts with other people
on the Internet. Popular blog service providers include Blogger,
Blog.com, LiveJournal,
TypePad, Bloglines,
etc. |
