How to Subscribe to a webpage using RSS Feeds.
RSS feeds are great way to keep up with new information on your favorite sites like this Technology Blog. You create RSS feeds through your Favorites and anytime new information is submitted on the website you are subscribing to, then the NAME of your feed will become BOLD. When you click on your RSS feed then only the NEW information will be displayed. You can also still view old information by clicking on the ALL button. Here is how you set up your RSS feed. There are two different ways and I will start with the easiest.
First Way:
If the website that you are accessing has a RSS Feed then locate the tool bar and you will see an icon that looks like this:
If the website does not have a RSS feed then the icon above will be grey.
If the orange RSS feed icon is located, click on it and the website will take you the RSS page for that website and you will (2) plus icons and a link labeled SUBCRIBE TO THIS FEED. Click on that link.
A new window will pop on your screen. At this point you have some options. The easiest method is just click SUBSCRIBE. If you would like to create folders for your feeds you can do that at this time.
Once you click subscribe, the screen will display a message at the top saying that you have successfully subscribed to this feed.
Second Way:
On our District and school webpages, subscribing to the RSS feed is done a litte bit differently. Here are the steps.
- Go to the webpage that you would like to subscribe to - for example our school calendar.
- When you go to our calendar, you will not see an orange rss feed on the tool bar - however, if you look closely above the calendar you will see the orange rss feed. Click on it.
- A new webpage will be displayed. Scroll down until you see a link - highlight, copy, and paste it in the url box at the top of your page (where you type in your internet web address). Then press ENTER.
- If the orange RSS feed icon is located, click on it and the website will take you the RSS page for that website and you will (2) plus icons and a link labeled SUBCRIBE TO THIS FEED. Click on that link.
A new window will pop on your screen. At this point you have some options. The easiest method is just click SUBSCRIBE. If you would like to create folders for your feeds you can do that at this time.- Once you click subscribe, the screen will display a message at the top saying that you have successfully subscribed to this feed.
