Adding RSS feeds

by Darcy Pattison

JMPrince asked how to set up feeds. Here’s my non-technology expert answer:

You can use several platforms for reading RSS feeds. I’ve been using Google Reader. For that, you simply go to google.com/reader and follow instructions. There are other RSS feed readers, such as BlogLines (which I used for a long time, until it stopped adding LiveJournals, for some odd reason). Or I’ve been told you can read RSS feeds through Firefox browser (or is it the Thunderbird email reader from Mozilla?).

Anyway, once I decided on a reader, then I just click on the program’s ADD feature and type in the URL (such as www.darcypattison.com) and it automatically searches for and finds the feed.

I really like the Google reader. Shrug. But there are lots of others out there.

Janni says she set up my feed so you can add it to your Friends page, too. Janni, how does that work? Is there a FAQ somewhere to explain it?

Does that answer the question? Usually, the Feed reading program will do the work for you, if you just know the URL.

Anyone else want to chime in on the Mozilla options?
