Therefore, given your user needs and a healthy dependence on the world's knowledge base, which the Internet is rightly considered to be, it is reasonable to ask you: do you use effective news technology and do you know what RSS is? If your answer is "no", then, you are definitely lucky! First, because you are reading this article. Secondly, the material presented to your attention will teach you to use productively new opportunities, the expediency of using them is an obvious fact that requires immediate practical implementation.

In search of efficiency

Literally every day the user of the Internet network faces a global problem - an unregulated flow of information. It is worth entering a query in the search box, and then the digital heavens of the endless data stream open above us. However, each of the users of the World Wide Web, including you, always has the necessary websites and blogs in the bookmarks, the content of which is the most acceptable and meets your interests and needs. However, in order to go to each of the selected Internet resources and see that there was a newcomer, you will have to spend a significant amount of priceless minutes of personal time. If you knew what RSS is, then you would not need to visit your favorite site every time, because you would be aware that nothing interesting for you has appeared there. Perhaps you are interested in the prospect of always being in a news trend, so it makes sense to get to know this effective and, undoubtedly, useful opportunity to be always on the information wave of events.

What is RSS: historical information

Today, news technology with its development has achieved truly fantastic results. However, all this became real thanks to the well-known company Apple Computer, in particular, R.V. Gua and a group of its developers. The Indian "was lucky" to create, of course, the progressive metacontact Framework. For the first time, the RSS-feed was launched on the Netcenter portal, which was the "brainchild" of Netscape. Later, other Internet sites, as well as a number of news organizations such as the Air Force, CNET, CNN, Slashdot, Disney, Forbes, Wired, Red Herring and others began to use the technology. The first version of Rich Site Summary 0.9x was in RDF format. However, a somewhat complex scheme of the implemented solution required changes, which was achieved in the form of a simplified version 9.0, developed by Netscape. In 2000, the format was divided into several types. For example, in the new Atom, all omissions and shortcomings of previous technological versions were taken into account. Today, the format of RSS 2.0 and 3.0 is widely used. The program code of machine code, which is quite complicated for the concept, has a simple definition: a kind of XML-format used for writing news feeds, changing the content of websites or blogs, and also compiling announcements of articles and publications.

Benefits in human language

Free accessibility does not make the informational alert tool an object that is not worthy of attention, on the contrary - RSS-tape is designed to help and greatly facilitates the process of interaction between the user and the administration of the site, which, among other things, is interested in people who are interested in the content of their current project. Due to this, a non-binding form of mutually beneficial cooperation allows the two parties to find common points of contact. You always own up-to-date information about the events occurring on the site, the resource owners are dependent on your participation and supply you with the necessary material, thereby attracting and retaining the visitor with quality and always updated content. It can not be otherwise, you are too valuable for them to lose you so easily.

I want, I want, I want, or How to connect to the information channel

For you to understand how to subscribe to RSS-announcements, you need to use one of the ways below. And the expediency of using this or that method has a somewhat conditional value of value. This is due primarily to the functionality of the software, which acts as the executor of user-supplied tasks. Therefore, the choice should be based primarily on the practicality of the application.

Some difficulties in connecting RSS: standard costs

The easiest way is to use the built-in reader (online client). Perhaps you noticed the sometimes appearing orange icon in the corner of the address bar (the point and ¼ part of the radially outgoing and righting elements of the circle). This "friendly" sign is a kind of sign of using the site RSS-format. But at the time of writing this article, some popular Internet browser for known reasons, the built-in functionality of the news aggregator is no longer used, in particular, Google Chrome and IE. Therefore, to date, RSS feeds in these browsers are not added in the standard way, you will have to use an alternative plug-in, the benefit that takes place in the arsenal of official extensions is still in the free version of the edition.

Configure Mozilla Firefox to work with news channels

Here everything is simple:

  • In the right upper part of the browser there is a button "Show your bookmarks".
  • Clicking on it, you will see the item "Subscribe to news feeds".
  • When you hover the marker on this submenu, you will be offered options for notification, or rather, the types of content being updated: feed, feed, comments, etc.
  • Choose the most suitable method for you and save the data in the corresponding folder, by default this will be the "Bookmarks bar".

These manipulations will allow you to add the RSS-feed of the site to yourself in the subscription. Now you can always see changes on the site in the form of a short announcement directly from the save folder.

Google Chrome: a non-standard-effective approach

Install the downloaded RSS Subscription Extension plug-in in Google Chrome:

  • Open Settings, then Extensions, at the bottom of the browser, click More Extensions.
  • In the store search box, enter RSS.
  • Install the plug-in.

Now you can subscribe to the information channel, using one of the many Internet aggregators. It should be noted that the functionality of such service applications is much more extensive than embedded ones and has several advantages.

Optimal resource selection

The Bloglines resource will allow you to feel comfortable in the immense news of the global network. In order to use the free services of the service, you must have a Google account and at the same time undergo a short registration process.

So, knowing what RSS is and what it looks like, click on the icon. Having chosen an acceptable variant of the notification, you get to the request page, where you need to choose a service, with which you will receive news about the content of the site that has interested you. By clicking "Subscribe", you will be taken to the main page of Bloglines. Go to your account and click the "Add +" button, which is in the upper left corner. Then select the "Channels" item and enter the address of the site in the corresponding line. The process will be completed after activation from the side of the arrow.

Professional approach: subscription organization

If you are running your own blog and want to create an RSS feed, you can recommend one of the effective ways that we implement using the FeedBurner service. For you it will not be difficult to understand the settings of the feed-barter, everything is available and even very understandable. The main thing, do not forget to activate all the items in the "Optimization" and "Publish" tabs.

  • If the RSS icon on your site is in the topic: find it using your editor, and enter the address you specified in the FeedBurner.
  • The alternative, as opposed to the situation described above, will look like this: in the body of the article or the sidebar, place the below script.
  • Hyperlink (service address / feed address) "rel =" nofollow "target =" _ blank ">

Subscribe via e-mail: how to do?

RSS on the site is a great thing. Nevertheless, for a full-fledged functional, an email subscription is required. Using the familiar FeedBurner service, do the following:

  • Go to the "Publication" section, mark the item "Subscriptions by e-mail" and copy the html-code located at the bottom of the window.
  • And some English phrases, for example subscribe, which means "to subscribe", are required to be translated into Russian. By the way, the last line of the script: Delivered by ... - in general, the hyperlink to the closing tag, you can simply delete. After the revision is pasted into the widget or blog php-file.

Finally

How can I disable the RSS feed in the event that the Internet resource has not lived up to your hopes and aspirations? As an example, take the browser Mozilla Firefox:

  • Go to the folder that contains the sources of news feeds.
  • Right-click on the "disgraced" site and use the drop-down menu to delete it.

A similar action on the Bloglines service:

  • Go to the reader page and select from the channel list (located on the left) the news channel you no longer need.
  • The opened sheet with mailings has in its title the "gear" icon, by clicking on which, you will be able to delete the RSS-tape irrevocably.

Be always up to date, good news to you!
