Did you know that you can subscribe and receive news (blog updates) from minisite owners at TSR? How? Subscribe to RSS feed of that blog.
What is RSS feed? RSS feed or Web feed is a way to receive website news without actually visiting the site. Somewhat similar to a website newsletter, only it doesn’t come in a form of an email but has a different format. Here is a better explanation. TSR provides this format for all minisite blogs and the front page news.
To read RSS feed you need an RSS reader – a program similar to email application. If you have Internet Explorer 7, it comes with a built-in RSS reader. You can also get a free reader from the web, they come as stand-alone applications or web-based readers.
Instructions for IE7 users:
To subscribe, go to minisite of selected artist and open artist’s blog. Click on RSS feed link.
On the page that opens, click Subscribe to this feed link, then click Subscribe button in a popup window. Done!
To view subscriptions, click Favorites icon in IE7 (yellow star) and switch to Feeds tab. All your subscriptions will be listed there. Blogs or websites on your list that were recently updated, will appear in bold.
Click on the site\blog name to read the update.
Other sites. You can use the same method for any other site that provides RSS feed. You either locate the link to the feed or simply check the feed indicator icon on IE7 toolbar. The icon is grayed out by default and lights up orange if the feed is detected on a page. Click on that icon to view the feed, then decide if you wish to subscribe.
