LearnAsOne

The best way to keep up to date with all the latest goings on at LearnAsOne is by subscribing to this blog’s feed using RSS.

What is RSS?

It’s a technology that allows you to see whenever a website adds new content and it delivers these updates straight to you as soon as they are published. You can subscribe to RSS feeds from all of your favourite sites, so that you get all your favourite news in one place without having to check lots of different sites.

Sounds great. How do I start using RSS feeds?

First you need to get yourself an RSS Reader. This is a simple piece of software that allows you to subscribe to feeds, tells you whenever a new article is published and lets you read it.

There are many feed readers to choose from, but a good place to start is with a free and easy to use web based one like Google Reader or Bloglines. An example, taken from my Google Reader is shown below.

They are very easy to use and work a bit like email. They show up all of your unread feeds in bold and give you the option to read the update there and then or click to the actual site if you wish.

How do I subscribe to a feed?

Once you have got yourself a feed reader, it’s really easy to start subscribing to feeds. All you need to do is look out for the orange RSS symbol, click the link next to it, and follow the simple instuctions you are presented with. The RSS feed for this blog is at the top of the purple column on your right.

So why not sign up today and give RSS a go? It will not only keep you up to date with the latest goings on at LearnAsOne, but will also allow you to subscribe to feeds from all your other favourite sites too.
