Using the site's RSS feed

IF you want to read the latest news items on This Perth Life when they are published, then you can in just a few simple steps.

The site provides an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed that means instead of visiting This Perth Life to see if the site has been updated, it can tell you that there is something new.

You need to set yourself up with a Newsreader that can display the RSS feed of the site and keep you in touch with the latest updates.

There are many on the internet and most are free to use, personally I use Bloglines, which is easy to sign-up to, free and can be accessed from work as well as home.

Then you need to add the This Perth Life RSS feed to your Newsreader.

You can do this by right clicking on the small graphic that you will find in the bottom left hand corner of every page of the site.

Then click on Copy Shortcut and go to your Newsreader and paste it into your service.

Whenever the site is updated you will get a message to say there is something new and you can read the first paragraph to see if it is of interest to you.

Many news services offer this type of service now including the BBC and the Guardian.

If you have any questions about setting up a Newsreader and subscribing to the This Perth Life RSS feed just make a comment below, and I will get back to you.
