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

Whenever you see the , or button on a webpage, it should link to an RSS feed URL
that you can subscribe to via your news reader or web browser.
The basic procedure is as follows:
- Copy the RSS feed URL you wish to subscribe to.
- Paste it into the channel list
or address bar of your news reader. As for Mozilla
Firefox, select "New Live Bookmark" and
then add the URL.
- Choose to refresh, continue
or stop subscribing the feed.
Another way to use RSS feeds is to
incorporate the content into your web logs (blogs). A
blog is an easy-to-use website comprised of short articles, frequently updated items, pictures and hyperlinks, where you can quickly
post topics, messages, journals, and interact with people.
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 and Bloglines. |
