Configuring RSS Feeds |
||
Using XSite Desktop's built-in RSS reader, you can easily keep in touch with all of the latest news in the industry. Simply put, RSS is a live news feed from a website of your choice and an RSS reader allows you to collect several news feeds into one continuous stream of news that you can monitor with ease. As each news site posts updates, your XSites Desktop RSS reader, fetches the new articles and flips through them so you can decide which ones you want to read. Before you can start watching inbound RSS feeds, you first need to find the RSS feeds you want to watch. While the notation for RSS varies from one website to the next, most sites denote their RSS feeds with an orange icon labeled "RSS" or "XML" that you can click to view the site's RSS. Once you find an RSS feed, you can easily add it to XSites Desktop. To do so...
- In XSites Desktop, click Menu, Configure
News.
- In the screen that appears, click Add.
- Type or paste the RSS feed's address into the field provided and then click OK to add it to your subscription list.
- Repeat this process for as many news feeds as you wish to add. If necessary, click an existing RSS feed and click Edit to update the address of the feed or click Remove to remove it from your subscription list.
- Finally, use the drop-down menus to indicate how often you want XSites Desktop to check for new articles and how fast you want it to rotate through the day's articles.
- When finished, click OK to save your changes.
XSites Desktop immediately starts monitoring each of your RSS subscriptions
for new articles. As those new articles appear, XSites Desktop downloads them
and rotates through them at the bottom of the XSites Desktop screen.
