What are News Feeds?
News feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest headlines and video in one place, as soon as its published, without having to visit the website.
Feeds are also known as RSS. There is some discussion as to what RSS stands for, but most people plump for ‘Really Simple Syndication’.
How do I start using feeds on my PC?
In general, the first thing you need is something called a news reader. This is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications.
If you go to the address bar in you browser if you use ‘Mozilla Firefox’ you should see the orange RSS icon, click on it and save it in your bookmarks. In ‘Microsoft Explorer 7′ just go to www.Salaf.com and click on RSS 2.0 in links on the right hand side and a new window will open, then just click on ‘Subscribe to feed’.
More info.:
If you click on the RSS button you can subscribe to the feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL of the feed into your news reader or by cutting and pasting the same URL into a new feed in your news reader. Most sites that offer feeds use a similar orange button, but some may just have a normal web link. The actual link to the feed is http://salaf.com/feed/
Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, automatically check for feeds for you when you visit a website, and display an icon when they find one. This can make subscribing to feeds much easier. For more details on these, please check their websites.
