Google fans can personalize their homepage with news and information sources. While many great sources can be selected with one click, with an extra step you can choose from thousands of news sources on the web.
Steps
- Understand that RSS feeds are a way for publications or bloggers to easily share what they write by distributing it through whatever method you choose to read it.
- Identify an RSS feed you would like to add to your Google homepage. Read Find RSS Feeds on the Web for ideas if you don't already have a publication or blog in mind.
- Note the URL of the RSS feed you wish to subscribe to. If you click on the RSS link, often displayed by an orange box around the letters RSS or XML, you will go to a page with a lot of data on it.
- Copy the URL in the Address field of your browser to the clipboard, as this is what you will use to identify the publication you wish to subscribe to. An example would be: http://www.wikiHow.com/feed.rss
Example RSS Page
- Set Up a Google Personalized Homepage if you don't already have one, or log in to yours if you do.
- Click on the "Add stuff" hyperlink in the right corner of the page, below the Goodle search box. A list of content options to add to your homepage should appear.
- At the top of the page, to the right of the search box and "Search" button, is a link to "Add by URL"
- A small window will appear right underneath the Google search field.
- Paste or type the RSS feed URL in the field provided and click the "Add" button.
Warnings
- Some RSS feeds do not work (ie. del.icio.us, furl.net etc). This is a known issue that Google is trying to resolve.
