How to install an RSS reader simply
An RSS reader is a wonderful device. At NB Media I have found an RSS reader to be of great use. Even if you are technically challenged this guide will help you to install one quickly and simply.
The aim of NB Media’s blog is to introduce you to design, in all it’s various formats, and especially it’s ability impact today’s society. Most social media platforms can be rather confusing for the first time user. Here I will discuss various platforms and how they can be relevant to your business in Somerset West, Cape Town. In order to keep up-to-date with all the blog posts I suggest that you create a RSS feed reader. “A WHAT?!” I hear you say. Don’t worry, I’ll explain.
An RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed reader lets you gather various blogs that you are interested in following and then displays their articles on one page. You can kind of think of it as a newspaper. The newspaper gathers stories from the millions of events happening around the world and compacts it into one edition with articles it views as most important. The big difference here is that YOU get to CHOOSE what you want to read. Pretty cool hey!
There are various RSS readers but the one I suggest is iGoogle. To get you started here is a video tutorial. This is the first session in the tutorial and will guide you through setting up iGoogle. Don’t worry it’s pretty darn easy 
This video will describe how to set up your RSS feed reader so you can follow any blog that you wish. In all your excitement don’t forget to follow this one though! In the tutorial the guy mentions a lot of techno stuff like “Wikis” and “Delicious”. Again, don’t worry too much about this as we can cover it all later on.
Well, hopefully by following the instructions on the tutorial you can have a RSS feed reader by the end – they are wonderful things and save you loads of time.
To subscribe to NB Media’s blog simply click the little rounded square RSS icon that has 3 curved lines in it. You will find it in your address bar at the top of the page and it looks like this:
Once you’ve clicked it just follow the instructions. If you do get stuck just let me know.
To your design success!
