Using Bloglines to Capture Feeds

When I'm doing research on any project or niche, I like to be able to receive all the fresh, new information about my topic in one place and in an organized manner.

Bloglines was reccomended to me several months ago as a method of keeping up with the current blogging activity from bloggers that I follow. I had used Yahoo as an RSS Feed agregator, and liked it well enough, but have since decided that Bloglines absolutely blows Yahoo away.

Oh, by the way. Bloglines is completely free!

Go to the Bloglines main signup page and click Register in the top right hand corner of the page.

Fill out their form with the information they request. They will send you a confirmation email, so be sure to give them an active email account.

Once you have confirmed your account by clicking on the link in the email they sent, you will be taken to a page that allows you to set up some favorite topics. I just skipped that part. You can always go back to this part later if you choose.

Then you're in. It's that easy.

Bloglines makes it extremely simple to subscribe to a blog's RSS feeds. This short video is a very good tutorial on subscribing to RSS feeds. As you will see, while watching this video, it is something that anyone can easily do. It doesn't take an internet technogeek to do this.

If you are using the Firefox browser, there is a better way to subscribe to RSS feeds. I've described this incredibly simple and handy method in the following video.

As always, I hope you will leave your your thoughts about this hub and its content. Also, any comments about Bloglines, it's benefits and any tips you have on its use are strongly encouraged.
