Certain readers of my blog have expressed how they haven’t read my blog until now because wasn’t syndicated on Livejournal. I just wanted to show these people how I read their blogs, be they on Livejournal, Blogspot, WordPress, or a custom system like The BBC or New York Times.<\/p>\n
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.<\/p>\n
1. Get Firefox<\/a>. It is good. It is free. It makes your web surfing experience faster, it’s less prone to viruses than Internet Explorer and it has a few terrific features like tabbed browsing<\/a> that will make your internet experience even better.<\/p>\n 2. Get the Sage RSS reader <\/a>extention for Firefox.<\/p>\n 3. Open the Sage sidebar. There are many ways… one is to hit Alt-S while in Firefox. I prefer to use Tools | View | Customize to drag the Sage icon onto the toolbar; Then I can just click on the icon next to my Firefox Refresh button.<\/p>\n 4. Go to your favorite blog. 5. Click on the little magnifying lens icon in the Sage sidebar. It will find the RSS feed for the blog automatically. Choose a feed with your mouse and click “Add Feed”.<\/p>\n 6. Do steps 4 and 5 for all your favorite blogs. Some of mine are BoingBoing<\/a>, TJIC<\/a>, the Technical Video Rental.com blog<\/a>, BBC News<\/a>, Gizmodo<\/a>, <\/a>CNN<\/a>, Craigslist Bikes for Sale in SF<\/a>, My sister’s blog on Livejournal<\/a>. All of these sites have RSS feeds. My list is a lot longer but it’s on my desktop computer, which is still being shipped to me. (it should be here today… goodie!)<\/p>\n 7. Whenever you’re wondering if any of the blogs in your list have been updated, click on the little Refresh icon. It will automatically check all of the blogs in a couple seconds and indicate to you all of the new content.<\/p>\n There are RSS feeds for a tremendously wide array of websites. RSS is an internet standard. It’s good that way. Use it. You’ll like it.<\/p>\n Neo<\/em>: I know what you’re trying to do.
