RSS Help
You may have been seeing those little orange RSS or XML buttons around the Internet. If you were wondering what they are...
It's "the next big thing" -- you can use it to get newsfeeds from CNN or BBC, as well as just about anything else, including news on upcoming movies, DVD releases, your favorite musician's tour updates... even from Start-Playing-Guitar.com.
Once you get started, it's like having your favorite parts of the Web come to you. No need to go out and check for updates all the time.
"RSS" means "Really Simple Syndication." What it means to you is that when you subscribe to a site that has an RSS feed, you can keep up-to-date without having to check the site every day or week.
How do you get started? Easy!
Download a free RSS Reader or use a browser with built-in RSS capabilities. An RSS Reader is special software that reads RSS deliveries. For example...
Windows RSS Reader: http://www.rssreader.com/
Mac NetNewsWire: http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/
Once you're set up, here's all you have to do...
Right-click (control-click for Mac users) on any orange RSS button on a site, blog or news source that interests you. Start by right-clicking on the orange button below. Then...
Select Copy Shortcut ("Copy Link to Clipboard" for Mac, "Copy Link Location" for Firefox browsers), and paste that URL into your RSS Reader.
And that's it! You're subscribed.
RSS-Ready Browsers: Firefox (Win or Mac), Safari (Win or Mac), Internet Explorer (v7 and later, Windows Only)
Check the online Help for specifics on using RSS with each browser. Setup is typically a single keystroke or two.
