How
do I use RSS?
A RSS feed can be viewed like bookmarks in
Mozilla
Firefox and Internet
Explorer, 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. |
