FIND FEEDS

NewsGator makes it pretty easy to add new feeds. Click on Add Feeds at top left and a new page pops up with a search engine to help you find feeds, suggestions on feeds that are right for you, and smart feeds. Those are easy enough to follow. But, what if you happen on a Web site yourself and want to add it to your reader? How do you know if the Web site even provides an RSS feed?

You know it does if, somewhere on the home page, you see a button marked XML, RSS, or RDF.

For example, go to the New York Times Web site and scroll down. You'll see RSS buttons in two places: at the bottom of the page

and toward the middle right

Some browsers, such as Mozilla's Firefox, display a small, orange icon in the address blank to tell you that RSS feeds are available at the site.
