Comments Off on How to subscribe to a RSS feed

Our blog site supports RSS feed. That is, people who want to follow your postings can simple subscribe to your blog’s RSS feed and get to know your new postings, without needing to visit your blog site every so often to see if there is anything new.

There are multiple ways to subscribe feeds.

First of all, you need to get the RSS feed link/URL. In the simplest form, it is your site URL plus “feed/”. If your site is http://blog.newtonchineseschool.org/abcd, then your site feed is http://blog.newtonchineseschool.org/abcd/feed/

For example, my site feed link is: http://blog.newtonchineseschool.org/wangweidong/feed/

Below are three ways to subscribe to RSS feeds:

1. Using google reader: reader.google.com

You need a google account (gmail account is OK, or sign up one).

Once in, click “Add a subscription” and enter the feed link URL. That is it.

2. If you use “My Yahoo” as your home page and visit there often, like me, then you can add feeds right there.

Go to your yahoo home page: http://my.yahoo.com

Click “FrontPage -> +Content”. Then click “Add RSS Feed”. Enter the RSS feed link, click “Add”. THen “I’m Done” to get out.

Now you will see this feed appears at the top. You can move it to anywhere you want it. Now everytime you visit your Yahoo home page, it will check to see if there is new posting from the blog site you are following.

3. Use Outlook

If you use Outlook (not Outlook Express), you can subscribe to RSS right there.
