Subscribing to a blog's RSS Feed using Bloglines

(Click on the images to enlarge)

Copy the URL of the blog (right-click "Copy" or CTRL-C)



Paste the blog URL into the Bloglines "Subscribe" box (right-click "Paste" or CTRL-V)

Select ONE feed from the list (all 3 of these feeds are valid, this is more of an issue with pages that might have more than one kind of blog going at once).

After you have selected a feed, scroll down to the bottom and click "Subscribe". Now the Blog should appear in your "Feeds" tab on the left.




If you click on the Blog name, the feed will appear in the frame to the right and you can read the blog without having to actually visit the blog. Ta-da!



Once you have opened up the feed in the window, Bloglines assumes you have read the entries displayed and will mark them as such. If you there are any entries you wish to save, tick the "Keep" box.

Remember, to leave a comment on the blog, you will need to visit the actual blog website. To do this, click on the title of the blog or the title of the blog entry. This will open up a new window.
