I’ve had a few blog visitors ask this question recently and want to share with you a few ways and ideas on RSS news feed readers.
First, you can access our feed by clicking the orange icon in your browser’s tool far near the “Home” button. When you click the feed, you will see that we have several RSS feeds you can subscribe to. Select one from the drop down and click. A new page will open which shows the address of our RSS news feed and also the content of the news feed. Depending on your RSS news feed reader you will add the address into it directly. Just grab the address from the address bar.
If you use IE 8, when you click the RSS news feed link, you can click subscribe right on the page and then access our news feed without even coming to our blog site. You access your subscribed feeds from a place near the IE 8 browser favorites bar.
If you want to start using RSS feeds but don’t know a good RSS news feed reader, I would recommend www.My.MSN.com. I used to love www.My.Live.com but it has been retired. To add our feed to www.My.MSN.com, you will need to set up an account (it is free) and then click “add content” near the top of your new account page. Then pasted in my RSS feed address in the box subscribe to feed.
I read about 40 news feeds daily using www.My.MSN.com and am able to read the first paragraph or so from within the reader and can click in to read the full article if I want. Using a news feed reader I can scan volumes of content from sites that I monitor and then read only what I want very quickly. RSS news feed readers allow you to review a lot of content in a very short period of time.
