About freaking time.... Arsenal forum RSS feed: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=185
Yeah, show us some love, DG, and tell us the best software/whatever to read RSS. Unless I can add it to My Yahoo with the click of a button, I haven't figured out how to use RSS yet.
http://www.freewarepub.net/freeware/Feedreader_2.90.html I use this program to view news and new posts. Too add a new feed, just click on the RSS link you find on the site and copy the URL you get from target page (which will be written in XML), then paste into the program.
So is RSS XML thing kind of like Scientology? I mean now one will tell me what it is but they'll show me how I can get it.
It basically puts all your news headlines in one place. For example, every day, I read yanks-abroad, the guardian, bbc, evertonfc, and a few others. Now, instead of going to each individual website, this program downloads the headlines and I can read whichever ones I want without having to sift through everything.
I add my rss feeds to my yahoo. That way it updates them on the my yahoo home page. I do this with Arsenal America for one and my Netflix queue also. I don't think I will use it for this forum though. There are too many new threads/posts. A new one might scroll of the rss feed from my yahoo before I even see it. The my yahoo rss feed only includes the more recent items.
Looks like its been answered but the qucik way to think of RSS is that it brings the news to you. When a post is updated the RSS feed is updated. You subscribe to RSS (I use Bloglines) and it checks the feeds for me so I don't have to go check the 78 feeds I currently subscribe to, I go one place and all updates are there. With BigSoccer I subscribe to the Arsenal forum and all post and then brought to me. No going and reading different posts, clicking around, etc. All of them are sent to me.....well thats how it should work, so far the RSS feed is not that good....but its a start.
Am I correct in thinking that this is similar to that "NewsNow" site that collects Arsenal news from all over the world on a continual basis?
Something like that but fitted into a folder in small application. You can also have updates for anything you want as long as the site has RSS link attached.
Something like that is right, but you chose what sites bring content to you. MyYahoo has added RSS. You can add any RSS feed and it will appear on your MyYahoo.
If you use Firefox, you can just subscribe to an RSS feed as a live bookmark. Then you get a convenient drop down list of all articles, threads or whatever. One of these days, IE will actually become a modern browser with tabs and RSS support. But of course Microsoft will extend the standard and make it proprietary.
