Once you have a reader running select New and paste into the URL box the RSS page of your choice (e.g. you can copy and paste the Hintlink address http://hintlink.com/hintlink_rss.xml ) into this box. As new news arrives from each source, you’ll get a little pop-up box in the bottom right hand side of your screen.
In FireFox 2, the browser will ask you if you want to use it as a Live Bookmark. Don't choose this. Copy and paste the address into your RSS feedreader (most Readers will even auto-paste this into a "New Feed" option).
NOTE: Hintlink has about a dozen RSS
feeds. The above one is our company
announcement page. Others are in our Calendar
page and FOC
area (requires login [which means it's an "authenticated feed"]).
FOR
WEBMASTERS and news providers - making your
RSS Newsfeed to feed to your users:
Recommended: ListGarden . Runs as an exe file, which then opens in your browser. Fast, efficient, works, free. Limited in output options, though (no image file, for example).
Also: RSSBuilder.
Appears to work well.
The RSS authoring Extension for Firefox is, so far, awful; crashes and fails all of our compatibility tests.
For our own
feeds, we use a custom
auto-generation method (written in-house) which comes from
an Access database.
Some
recommended RSS news feeds: (there are tens of thousands of RSS
newsfeeds)
