How to add a website to a news aggregator

Adding a website to a news aggregator, also known as a news feed or RSS reader, allows you to receive updates on the latest news and articles from that website. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add a website to a news aggregator:

Method 1: Using the Website's RSS Feed

1. Find the website's RSS feed: Look for an RSS icon () or a link that says "RSS" or "Subscribe" on the website. The RSS feed is usually located in the website's footer or sidebar.
2. Copy the RSS feed URL: Right-click on the RSS icon or link and select "Copy link address" or "Copy URL" to copy the RSS feed URL.
3. Add the RSS feed to your news aggregator: Open your news aggregator (e.g., Feedly, Inoreader, or NewsBlur) and click on the "Add a feed" or "Subscribe" button. Paste the RSS feed URL into the input field and click "Add" or "Subscribe".

Method 2: Using the Website's Atom Feed

1. Find the website's Atom feed: Look for an Atom icon () or a link that says "Atom" or "Subscribe" on the website. The Atom feed is usually located in the website's footer or sidebar.
2. Copy the Atom feed URL: Right-click on the Atom icon or link and select "Copy link address" or "Copy URL" to copy the Atom feed URL.
3. Add the Atom feed to your news aggregator: Open your news aggregator and click on the "Add a feed" or "Subscribe" button. Paste the Atom feed URL into the input field and click "Add" or "Subscribe".

Method 3: Using the Website's News Aggregator Button

1. Look for the news aggregator button: Some websites have a news aggregator button (e.g., Feedly, Inoreader, or NewsBlur) that allows you to add the website to your news aggregator with a single click.
2. Click the button: Click on the news aggregator button to add the website to your news aggregator.

Tips and Variations

• Make sure the website has an RSS or Atom feed available. Not all websites have a feed, so you may need to check the website's settings or contact the website administrator to request a feed.
• Some news aggregators may have specific requirements for adding feeds, such as requiring a username and password or allowing only certain types of feeds.
• You can also add websites to your news aggregator using a browser extension or add-on, such as Feedly's browser extension or NewsBlur's browser add-on.
• If you're having trouble finding the RSS or Atom feed, you can try searching for the website's feed using a search engine or checking the website's settings or FAQ page.

By following these steps, you can add a website to your news aggregator and stay up-to-date with the latest news and articles from that website.
