Glaucoma.org Site Feeds
We’ve added three feeds to our web site to help keep you updated.
Our Main Feed and Q&A Feed Combined
What are Feeds?
A feed lets you know when a website has updated without having to visit the site. This is done using a program called a feed reader, or news reader. Feeds are also known as RSS. Feeds are also used for delivering podcasts.
Using Feeds
You will need a piece of software called a feed reader or news reader. After you have subscribed to a feed, your feed reader will check the feed periodically and show you when new content has been added to the site.
Some feed readers are web-based, meaning that you visit them like any other web site so you can use them from any computer that has web access. Other feed readers are stand-alone programs that you install on your computer.
After you have selected a feed reader, whether web-based or installed, you can start adding feeds to it. To find feeds look for an icon like this or a link that says “RSS Feed” or “Subscribe”.
Put that link into your feed reader. Each feed reader is a little different, but usually there is a way to “create a new feed” that will give you a place to add the address of the feed. You can copy and paste the feed address from the link or the icon.
Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, automatically check for feeds for you when you visit a website, and display an icon when they find one. This can make subscribing to feeds much easier. For more details on these, please check their websites.
