Happy Face 29 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) Users of RSS content use programs called feed 'readers' or 'aggregators': the user 'subscribes' to a feed by supplying to their reader a link to the feed; the reader can then check the user's subscribed feeds to see if any of those feeds have new content since the last time it checked, and if so, retrieve that content and present it to the user. which 'readers' or 'aggregators' should I use? Where can I download it? Cheers. This place not do it? Edited January 13, 2007 by Happy Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you not just have links to loads of topics rather than individual posts? This place can't get through more than 20 or 30 topics a day and I only come back to a small number of them. Thought it would be handy to be told as soon as a topic I want to read has been responded to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
