Viewing Feeds in a personal RSS Reader

A feed reader is an application known as an aggregator that gathers fresh syndicated content that is supplied in the form of a webfeed. RSS readers allow you to view and subscribe to the RSS feeds you want.

Subscribing to an RSS Feed

To subscribe to totaltravel.com.au feeds, right click on one of the channels with the RSS icon, and select "Copy Shortcut" "Copy Link Location" to copy the location (URL) of the service. Paste this location into the appropriate channel of your news reader by following the instructions within that application.

Another method is to click on a feed link to open in a new window, select the URL in the address bar and copy and paste it into your feed reader.

Reading Articles.

Once you have subscribed to the RSS feeds that you want, your RSS reader will automatically update with the latest news.

The feed reader will present you with easy-to-browse headlines and short summaries, including links to the full article. You can see what's new, and read only the articles that interest you.
