FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Subscribing to a Blog

• Why should I subscribe to a blog?

Blogs are essentially collections of posts by a company or person on a particular subject or subjects. Viewers use to only be able to access blogs by visiting their host websites on the Internet.  Blogs now have a second location on the Internet, called a “feed” or “subscription feed.”

Instead of your required action, visiting websites directly to read articles, the blog automatically sends you posts via a product that “reads” these posts, similarly to your e-mail program which reads incoming e-mail. This software is known as a “reader.

With some blogs created a whole ago, new posts are sent directly to your e-mail address.  However feeds are a more evolved and desirable option.

• What is “RSS?”

RSS means Really Simple Syndication. Mainstream news sites use RSS feeds to send people content directly, much like blogs do.

• What do I need to read this “feed”?

Your current internet browser can likely already read feeds.

Google has a feed reader that is user-friendly. It can be downloaded here and runs through your browser just like any other webpage.

After you download, simply paste reader.google.com into your browser (and bookmark it as one of your “favorites”). The Reader will then appear within your browser.

• What does this reader do exactly?

The reader puts the feeds into an easily readable format (basically showing you the title of the post and portions (or all) of the content). Therefore you ca browse through articles efficiently by scrolling through them. The program automatically marks feeds as “read” once you’ve scrolled through them, keeping your content fresh.
