I've always been curious about what RSS feeds were (not quite enough to do anything about it but curious nonetheless!) I set up google reader and suddenly the RSS button on my favourite sites applied to me!! Originally as well as a handful of these sites/blogs (Ted talks/the Guardian film/dvd reviews, the NY Times book review, Antler magazine) I had everybody's 23things blog in there too but felt swamped so I cut them loose (seeing as I get updates of those in Blogger already). How could having everything in one place and in digestible form be a bad idea?!
One thing I'm curious about is what the difference is between Google Reader and iGoogle? You can get RSS feeds in there too.
I haven't yed found out how to get this 'Next button' beside my bookmarks that the Anonymous librarian speaks of...hints?
Hi Machinetown, you have to be logged into your google reader,down on the bottom of the left hand side of the page there is 'a mangage subscriptions' link, click on this.This opens a settings page, click on the 'goodie' tab and follow instructions - hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteThat seems remarkably simple now that I know how to do it - thanks! That makes it much easier to check my subscriptions quickly:)
