What
is RSS?
RSS news feeds and XML technology are here to save us from the
torrents of SPAM that flood our mailboxes daily. RSS stands for
"real simple syndication" and it simply means a simple
way to send you information you're interested in.
XML is the actual technology that distributes RSS and the terms
are sometimes used interchangably. You don't really have to concern
yourself about the technical parts.
How
does this work for you? By putting control of delivery of information
into the hands of you, the consumer rather than the publisher. This
forces the publisher to deliver only high quality material that
the consumer desires.
If
they don't, the consumer can dump the RSS news feeds that deliver
worthless or low quality information. Unlike unsubscribing from
email, once the news feed is terminated, that's it. Nothing more
will show up from that site.
Your
email address won't be passed around to thousands of other spammy
marketers because you never had to give up your personal information
to receive the news feed in the first place.
How
to Subscribe to RSS News Feeds
Nothing can be easier to do than subscribing to our's or any other
website's news feeds.
The simplest method we've found so far is to use the free readers
supplied by Yahoo and MSN. Most of us already have accounts at one
or both of these places.
Add
RSS feed automatically here 
or
If
you already have My Yahoo! account
follow these steps below:
Add
Indian Food Kitchen to My Yahoo!
After
you login to your my
yahoo account
click on add content (below the search box), After this
click on Add RSS by URL next to the Find Content Search
box, enter the following address there:
http://www.top-indian-recipes.com/blog/wp-rss.php
After
entering the above address it will be automatically added on my
Yahoo!. If you see a headline that interests you, just click on
it, right in your Yahoo newsreader and you'll instantly go to that
article or recipe. Pretty Cool, right!
Other
sites may have an icon like this one .
It's basically the same but requires a couple of more steps to subscribe
to the news feed.
Even
though the button says Atom it's still an RSS news feed. Some buttons
may have RSS, XML or FeedBurner or something similar
on the button. To subscribe to these types of feeds, you just have
to right-click the button and then "copy shortcut". Once
you have it saved on your clip-board, you can then paste the feed
into your reader.
In
My Yahoo, you have to login to your account and once in, find the
link for "Add Content". Click on the
link and then find the link for "Add RSS by URL".
Click on that link and then paste the shortcut into the box provided
and click ADD. Pretty simple but a few more steps. You can also
follow the same procedure for any other RSS readers.
If
you prefer MSN or have a msn or a hotmail account ,click on the
myMSN button below to subscribe to our feed.
