How To Subscribe To A Blog

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Subscribing to a blog is an easy, free way to keep track of sites that update frequently. Lots of people who read blogs use an RSS (Real Simple Syndication) reader like Bloglines, Yahoo, Google, etc. It makes it much easier to stay up to date on new information coming from your favorite sites, since the reader will tell you when those sites are updated.

So how do you grab the RSS feed?

It all starts with the orange icon you see in the address bar at the top right-hand corner of this site. That’s a fairly universal icon to let you know that the site has an RSS feed.

Just click the icon and you’ll be brought to a page that helps with the final steps of subscribing. Or right-click the icon, save the URL to the feed and paste it into your existing feed reader.

It doesn’t matter which reader you use, as long as you subscribe you’ll get updates when they’re made in the way you want them.
