Well, RSS* feeds are those headlines you see in some websites - it's a list of links to the most recent newsitems on various other websites. Look right and there are 2 feeds form other blog sites sites - eLearning Stuff and Connected Learning. They get updated when the original sites do.
I could have headlines from anywhere and in other places I have feeds from news sites like the BBC and the Guardian, from entertaining sites and from other blogs.
Anyway - you need two things:
- A site with a feed. Look for the little orange symbol, like the one the one above. Generally, if you click on this it'll take you to the feed page, which will show you a list of headlines.
- A feed reader. There are loads of them around - some are programs, some are websites, some are things that'll let you download news to your phone. Modern browsers, like Internet Explorer and Firefox have them built in.
My personal choice of reader is iGoogle. Have you noticed that there is a link on the google page that says Sign in, anothe says igoogle. Click on the link for igoogle - it'll show you a version of the google search page with more info on it. Click Sign in to do that or create account, then look for Add stuff on the page - you'll find loads of feeds to add, and somewhere to add your own.
