[Puters] A simple tutorial on news feeds

So here's the situation. There are so many interesting news sites and blogs (like Inretrospect - Silverfox Admirer, Ha!), is there any way of getting all these wonderful information delivered to me directly instead of my having to spend all this time browsing through all of them?

Why yes there is! Enter the news feed! If you spot any of these images

or images containing "RSS" or "Atom" or "XML" in it, you've found the source of these feeds!

If you're using a web browser that supports news feeds like Firefox, just add on the "feedburner" or "XML" or "RSS" links to your bookmarks. I'll illustrate how it works on Firefox.


Getting Live News Feeds on FireFox 101:

Step (1) - Go to http://www.getfirefox.com/, download Firefox and install it.

Step (2) - Run Firefox and surf to http://silverfoxadmirer.blogspot.com/.

Step (3) - You should see the following icon -- -- at the bottom of your firefox browser when you're here.

Step (4) - Click on that icon like so

, then click on subscribe like so


Step (5) - This window will pop up

, just click on "OK" --

Step (6) - Go to your file menu and select "Bookmarks"

, scroll down like so


and there you have it! Latest updated news from this blog everytime you browse your bookmarks!
