How to Use RSS Feeds

For the past 2 weeks I have been talking about How to write for a blog. Today I will talk about how to understand the feeds and using a feed reader within a blog or website. After a post has been written and then published, it will then go into an RSS feed. Which is a standard way of delivering headlines and articles in a streamlined text.

If most people are like me, they use a feed reader to read all their favorite blogs and websites. It is an easy way to get all your information in one place. This will keep you from having to access all your favorite blogs or websites individually. Every time you access your feed reader, it goes and checks the RSS feed for updates. In return your feed reader will update you of the newest post. Feed readers will give you an opportunity to sort through all the news and organize it and ignore the rest.

My favorite reader is google reader. It is easy to use and has lots of powerful tools. Even though I use google reader, there are lots of different readers that are just as nice to use. All people who have a google account will already have a google reader. You can either go to www.google.com/reader or just sign into your google account and find it in the top tab.

Subscribing in google reader is quite easy.

* Sign into your google reader and click add subscription link.

* Type the web address of the blog to which you want to subscribe.

* Click Add and google reader will detect the blogs RSS feed and subscribe.


This was just a post to enlighten you, how life could be so much easier if you just had the right tools.
