Ever wonder if there is a more efficient way to discover what is happening than checking each individual website that you want to follow. I found that when I went to the different newspapers' websites I would spend a lot of time looking at the advertisements on these websites and then stopped going to them because I was losing too much time.
Thus, I decided to research alternative ways to obtain the same information in a more productive manner. Through this research, I discovered the beauty of RSS feeds. The RSS feeds allow me to gain information from a multitude of different sources all in my email client and through an app on my phone. I am able to read all the news I want without being bothered by advertisements. Typically, I am able to get through the morning's news within about 20 minutes. I enjoy being able to read the various news sources without the advertisements as a result I am a better informed individual.
So, how can you use RSS feeds to make your life easier? By using an RSS feed in your email or through an app, you can keep up with a larger variety of information (both news and otherwise) in one location.
Steps to setup an RSS feed:
1. Select where you are going to direct your RSS feeds. You can send it to google reader, the mac mail client, Microsoft Outlook.
2. Go to the source(s) from where you want to receive the RSS feed.
3. Find the RSS link/button. Typically, it is an orange button, such as the one below from the "Wall Street Journal."
4. Once you have discovered the RSS link/button, click on it and it will provide you with the different options of RSS readers. Select the RSS reader that you have chosen to use.
If you follow these four simple steps, you should be able to set up your RSS feeds, where you can have all of your news in one location.
