Examples:
My NetNewsWire
My Feedreader
Do you keep up on a lot of websites and blogs? If you’re not using one already, you need to use a News feed reader. These little programs are great. You tell it which sites to watch, and it will notify you whenever there is a new post or news item. No need to keep opening up 9 blogs in my browser just to see if there’s anything new.
Net News Wire for the Mac and Feedreader for the PC are two such programs and they make life a lot easier AND they’re both free.
There’s also an online feed reader, Bloglines, that does the same thing once you create a free account. With Bloglines your subscriptions are kept online, so you can access them from anywhere, work or home, and you can share your subsciptions with others. Here’s mine.
There’s even 3 feeds for this site and the main site, TimChes.com. Install Feedreader, click “New Subscribtion” and enter feed url. Anytime I post something new, you’ll be notified! While you’re at it, go to your favorite site and look for any of these orange icons and subscribe to their feeds.
Using Mozilla Firefox 0.10.1 on Windows XP
Awesome, I’m gonna try this…
Using Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1 on Windows XP
if you want to add any blogspot feeds, just add “[name].blogspot.com/atom.xml” For your it would be “omalabuyo.blogspot.com/atom.xml”
Using Mozilla Firefox 1.0 on Windows XP
Thanks to Daniel for showing Tim the Bloglines site.
Using Mozilla 1.7.5 on Debian GNU/Linux
Another great feedreader is Firefox. The “live bookmarks” feature is pretty nifty!
Using Safari 125.12 on Mac OS
Safari is coming out with a REALLY great RSS integration in Mac’s OS X Tiger release. I haven’t really seen anything like it yet in any of these apps.
Oh, and thank Phil for request RSS feeds for this site.
Using Mozilla 1.7.6 on Debian GNU/Linux
One thing that might be kind of confusing…. Most people expect the orange ‘rss’ icon to link directly to a feed. Instead it links to another page. When I tried to add your feed, I right-clicked, “copy link location” and pasted it into my reader…. which didn’t like it.
The principle of doing what is least surprising comes to mind.
Using Safari 125.12 on Mac OS
What’s funny is up until last Monday, that button actually did link to a feed. I made up two other feeds that day and decided to link that button to a page offerring the 3 different feeds.
Hmmm…let me think about this for a while…
