You Need to Google Reader!
Keeping up with new sources of Internet
What is your favorite Web site you go to make up for what’s happening in the world? Maybe you have more than one. Perhaps like me you several.What if you could collect all messages from all these places and have introduced a list of articles that you can read in one place?
This article shows you the basics of what it is and how to configure it.
What is Google Reader?
Many Web sites that publish new or updated regularly with a feature called “Really Simple Syndication” (RSS). This is a list of links to all articles published on this site.
Google Reader is an online RSS reader. Google Reader tell you, the site that interests you, and it calls the post section. You can then access the items you are interested click. When you are finished, click on a button that marks all as “read” and you can come back and read the next batch, if you are ready.
You are not to read any article that is published on a particular site is limited, if you have an interest in, say, the Sydney Morning Herald, you can subscribe to the entire website, or just a paragraph of interest.
Sounds good, how can I build?
First, you need a Gmail account if you do not already have one. You can download Gmail Reader, but the steps are much easier if you use Gmail. To log in to the Google homepage and click on Gmail at the top. Click on the Create Account to get started. (You can also Google connects to a Hotmail account, as elsewhere, Yahoo, etc.).
Once you have a Gmail account, you can then log into Google Reader. There is a link to the reader to the top of the screen Gmail inbox, or you can go to the Google homepage, click Advanced, then click the drive, and connect with your new Google Account. You will see a welcome screen.
From there, the next step is to get some subscriptions (web page) to add to the playlist. The latest articles from this site will be called automatically every time you ride in the book.
There are several ways to add subscriptions:
Click on the notes in the left pane, and then review the list of suggestions from Google and add some as you want. It’s really just a random selection of sites really sure (and not very exciting) from the Web.
The real deal when you add your pages that really interest you. You want to go to a place that the messages you read, copy the address into the address line to the clipboard and paste it into a new subscription in Google Reader has. All new comments are posted to this site will be displayed in the list of Google Reader.
For example, if I is the Life & Style section of the Sydney Morning Herald, read the easiest to implement it:
Visit the website of the Sydney Morning Herald and click on Life & Style.
Note the address at the top of the screen. It will be something like http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle. Select the address with the mouse, then use the CTRL-C (or Command-C on Mac) to copy it to the clipboard.
Now go back to Google Reader, click on Add subscription in the left upper and paste the address copied earlier, CTRL-V (Command-V on Mac). Press the Enter key to continue, and your new subscription will be added.
But wait, he said, “Your search did not match any feeds!”
This serves to illustrate my next point – not all sites are in a position simply by being installed in the drive at www. The SMH is an example. If you come across a site like this to go on the main page of the site and locate the text “RSS” – which is usually you get a link or a list of links to food news Web site includes real. In this example, the link SMH “RSS” is a small text at the bottom of the homepage, which brings us to a list of sections that we can not agree. The page then lists the various sections.
Most sites work only by copying and pasting the address of the site’s home page in the drive.
What happens after I have the place?
Once you have set up a subscription list, you can click on all the points in the top left of screen readers, and you get a list of all new products to view all your subscriptions. (My own interest has, can be very different from yours, as you can see from the chart!)
Click on a particular subscription in the lower left to display only items from this source for news.
How can I clean my playlist?
I personally believe all the articles that interest me is to read, then I click Mark All as Read. If you are on the list of objects that your entire playlist is cleared before new products in. If you are just coming to a particular subscription, only sections of this subscription will be marked as read.
What if I want to delete a subscription?
Click on Manage Subscriptions, left at the bottom of your list subscriptions. (You may need to scroll down, as in my example above.)
Click on the little trash can on the line to the subscription you want to delete, corresponds.
Beware!
Reader can make pretty addictive. Adding too many sources, and there will be days when you know how to read you have a mountain of new feeling! (Eg “408 unread items” … Sheesh!)
Over time you may cancel your subscription – there you readers the tools to respond to things like “how many items from this source, especially news, I’ve never really open?”
I hope you enjoy Google Reader, as I do. Compete in the world of technology, it really helps me with the latest events information. In a computer repair company like mine, sometimes it’s necessary!
