RSS & Mac OS X for beginners, using NetNewsWire
Friday 31 August 2007
So, you read the first part of this series and are now excited about the possibility of subscribing to feeds for sites you like. I now propose to give some step-by-step instructions for how to do that, whether you use Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer on Mac OS X or Windows. This article concentrates on the Mac, specifically how to set up and use my free feed reader of choice, NetNewsWire from Newsgator.
The principles of subscribing to a feed
When you want to subscribe to a site, there are three steps you have to take. Keep these in mind and you've won half the battle:
- Find out if the site / section you're interested in has a feed of some kind;
- Find out the address of that feed;
- Give that address to your feed reader to add it to your subscriptions list.
