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 Awasu, FeedDemon,
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, Sooma, LiveJournal, TypePad, Bloglines,
etc. |
