RSS Feeds and You!!!!!!!!

So, you want to see more of my stuff without signing up on any website?

I suggest using a RSS Feed reader! RSS feeds are a good way to follow your favorite content without algorithims or needing to sign up on a website. RSS feed readers can be easily installed. All you need is the RSS link of the site you want to subscribe to, put it in the RSS feed reader so it will scan for content, and enjoy!

Here's one, Smart RSS by Zakius (Firefox):

Here's what my posts look like in Smart RSS:

Here's another one called Feedbro by Nodetics (Firefox):

This feed has more customization features for display, organization, feed, and more!

How to subscribe to a RSS feed of a blog or website:

Note: Not all websites, including modern social medias, have RSS feeds. RSS feeds are technically outdated today, but some sites, like Blogger, still use RSS feeds.

Anyway, you need to copy a RSS Link from a website with this function enabled:



Where it says "Subscribe to a Reader" (1) in the bottom of this image, this is where you can get the RSS feed link from my Blogger site: sketchingwithreckless.blogspot.com. You need to right click it and copy the link (2). If you just click the link, it will only show you a jumble of useless text.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After grabbing the link, input that link in a RSS Reader. Below is both Smart RSS and Feedbro's RSS link URL box:

Smart RSS is pretty basic, but with blogs that require passwords and other details, use Feedbro. After putting in the RSS link, you are ready to go!

HEY! Tumblr, Twitter, Deviantart, welcome to Blogger!

Hi. Welcome to Blogger.

Very out of date this site is, it's quite nice here...just very isolated, lol.

But, all themes are customizable! 

And you have a feed (reading list) with all your subscriptions (that update once every four months maybe??) 

But there's no algorithm which is great!

You just need to find other people through...uhm...the search engine Google. Yeah.

It's like Tumblr if Tumblr was a desert wasteland and the next city is like billion miles away.

This place you just leave messages in a bottle. Letting it float around until someone from pinterest picks it up and adds it to their board thingy (remember to sign and watermark your art).

But this place has heart, year 2000 heart when social media was just beginning to break through its shell.

It's very quiet here. But it's home.
