Blog 9: How to Subscribe to an RSS Feed

The Doom Club Has RSS!!!

I’m so exited to announce RSS, now I can annoy the crap out of everyone by sending a million pings to everyone who subscribes! Setting up the RSS was super easy thanks to HUGO, the static website builder I am using for this site.

What is RSS?

RSS is a simple tool to keep in touch with websites you like. It gives you a ping on a given website’s page, so you can stay in touch with blogs, news, etc. It generates a XML link for a page on a site that pings should usually come from. For example, the blog page has one but the individual blog does not.

How to Subscribe

  1. Have an RSS reader, I recommend for browsers I recommend WebFeed. And for iOS I recommend NetNewsWire
  2. Once you have them go to the Blog home page and look for the orange Wi-Fi looking logo on the bottom left corner. It will open some crazy code, that’s XML code that the XML reader uses for notifications, just ignore it.
  3. For Web Browsers: Click on the WebFeed extension logo, it will open a little blue box with the URL click it.
  4. For the Phone: Just copy the URL and go to the app, click on the + button on the bottom right, and click on the add feed button. Simply paste the URL where it says URL.
  5. Enjoy the pings!

How cool is that? If you’re having any problems drop a comment down here and I’ll try to troubleshoot it.
