How to use RSS Feeds?To: NULL Date: 10/4/2006 9:47:00 AM Hi, I want to understand and follow RSS feed because many web pages provide RSS feed for updated new data(e.g. http://www.weather.gov/rss/). But I never get how to use it. The link below suppose explains everything and how to use it. http://www.firstgov.gov/Topics/Reference_Shelf/Libraries/RSS_Library/What_Is_RSS.shtml except: How Do I Use RSS Feeds? The first step is to choose an RSS reader. Each reader has a slightly different way of adding a new feed, also called a "channel." Follow the directions for your reader but, in most cases, here's how it works: Click on the link or small XML button near the feed you want. For example, FirstGov.gov Updates: News and Features. You'll see a page displaying XML code. From your web browser's address bar, copy the URL (web address). For example, the URL you would copy for FirstGov.gov Updates: News and Features is: http://www.firstgov.gov/rss/updates.xml. Paste that URL into the "Add New Channel" section of the reader. The RSS feed will start to display and regularly update the headlines for you. I don't have special software for viewing it. I have Web browser Firefox. The link above says that Firefox can do it. But I can't find "Add New Channel" in Firefox. It only displays the xml source code. Thank you very much for your help. | ||||||
