When RSS feed readers were in their heyday, I never did get on the train nor did I understand why people loved them so much. But after the destruction of Twitter, I decided to try out having an RSS feed reader to better curate how I use the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I’m officially a believer! I love using\/utilising a RSS feed reader because now I don’t have to obsessively check each and every single blog or youtuber constantly in case there may have been an update; Feedbro automatically notifies me when there’s something new!
Bonus: I don’t have to deal with a meddling “middle-man” and their silly algorithm getting in-between me and the content I want to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve seen people talk on social media about wanting to go back to reading blogs and using RSS feeds, so I thought I’d put together this little tutorial to help someone get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tutorial is specifically for the Feedbro RSS feed reader<\/a> extension on FireFox, and how to add new feeds. They do have an extension on Chrome as well, and I assume it operates the same exact way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blogs that Use WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For blogs that use WordPress, in the Feed URL box add \/feed<\/strong> at the end of the blog’s URL:
Note: I believe this method also works for any blog or website that has a built-in RSS feed<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Screen<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Blogspot Blogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For blogs on Blogspot, in the Feed URL box add \/rss.xml<\/strong> at the end of the blog’s URL:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Screen<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Shopify Blogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For blogs that use Shopify’s blog service, in the Feed URL box add .atom<\/strong> at the end of the blog’s URL:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Screen<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Youtube Channels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To add a Youtube channel to Feed Reader, first go to the Youtube channel’s home page, right click, and select ‘View Page Source<\/strong>‘:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Screen<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It will then bring up a page that looks like The Matrix:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Screen<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Ctrl+F “rss” (\u2318+F for mac) and it will automatically bring you to the section where the RSS URL is located:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Take the URL that is found in the href attribute:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"The<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And then copy+paste it into the Feed URL box on Feed Reader:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Screen<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And there you go! I don’t really mess with anything else other than giving a custom name if I want to, and adding it to a custom folder if necessary to keep things better organised.
