Subscribing To A Feed
Why subscribe to our feed?
We will be updating our feed whenever we add new
pages to Activity Village, or find a particularly good website or video
which we want to tell you about. You can read the website version of our
feed by clicking on the What's New link on the
menu bar at the top of each page. Alternatively, if you have a Google,
Yahoo or MSN home page, or a feed reader service, you will be presented
with a dynamic list of our updates and be able click on the link
provided to go directly to the new activity. This is how the feed
appears on my Google home page:
Subscribing with Internet
Explorer 7:
If you have Internet Explorer 7 it is very simple to
subscribe to our feed. Go to any page in Activity Village and look for the small orange feed icon on the
right of your Internet Explorer toolbar.
Click on it. The page will change to show a basic version
of the Activity Village Updates page and at the top
left of the page you will see the following:
Click on the link which reads "Subscribe to this feed" and the feed will be saved into your
Feeds list, which runs alongside your Favorites and your History. You
can sort your feeds into folders if you wish.
When you want to check your feeds,
click on the Star icon to the left of your toolbar, and then select the
Feeds button.
If we have updated the Activity Village Updates page, its
listing will be in bold until you click on it to read it.
Adding the feed to your home page
Follow the instructions above and you can of course click on the other
links to add the feed to your iGoogle home page or the Google Reader. If
you would like to add the feed to your Yahoo or MSN home page, you can
also copy the feed's URL, which is
http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/Updates.xml
Subscribing in other browsers:
I'm not an expert on other browsers or Macs, but you can
also subscribe to the feed by clicking on the RSS icon on the menu bar
of any page within Activity Village.
In addition, many feed readers allow you to subscribe to a feed by
dragging the feed icon over to the reader and dropping it in the
appropriate place. Remember, you can also copy the feed's URL, which is
http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/Updates.xml, into your browser
window or into your preferred feed reader.
