How To Subscribe To RSS Feeds
If you're unfamiliar with RSS, read on. If you are, my links are further down.
'RSS', which stands for 'Really Simple Syndication', is a method through which you, a reader, can receive new writings, podcast episodes, or videos from the folks who make them.
It's wonderful: private, doesn't overwhelm your email, and algorithm-free.
To participate as a reader, you need something to fetch these updates for you. This is an 'RSS reader.' There are many to choose from, but might I suggest Commafeed or Artemis?
Once you've obtained one, you need to find some RSS Feeds! Here are a few ways:
- Use my bookmarklet! It's code you put in your bookmarks bar. To use it, visit a site you'd like to find the feed for, then click on that bookmark. If it finds one, it'll open it for you in a new tab. Then, copy the link in the address bar, and give that to your RSS Reader.
- Some RSS Readers come with a browser extension you can install, and it works the same way as my bookmarklet, but there are fewer steps required and it's a little more elegant.
- Several websites link to their RSS feeds. Look on their homepage, in the header, or footer, for a link saying 'subscribe', 'follow', 'RSS', 'Feeds', or a WiFi icon that looks tilted.
- If you find a link, you can paste it into Subscribe Openly to find a way to put it in your preferred reader.
Hope that helps, and happy reading!
