Now available: Gaudiya Discussions RSS News Feeds! - What it is and how to take advantage of it

What is RSS, how does it have anything to do with me, and do I have to be a geek to know how to get it? In the opening post, we'll address these three questions, and then post simple tutorials on how to take advantage of the Gaudiya Discussions RSS news feeds.

RSS is an acronym for Rich Site Summary (or: Really Simple Syndication). It is a method for distributing news headlines on the internet. RSS feeds allow you to check for latest news, articles and so forth on a website without actually visiting the site yourself. Your web browser or RSS reader will fetch the RSS feed from the site and display the titles of the latest entries as links for you to click.

RSS feeds are a comfortable way to keep track of several websites without having to visit them all the time. Just visit the site when you see there's something new there -- as simple as that. And no, you don't have to be a geek to figure this out. Taking advantage of RSS feeds is a very simple and straight-forward task to accomplish. In the following posts, I'll be presenting tutorials on how to utilize RSS feeds in commonly available applications.

For now, we have made two RSS feeds available. The first is Gaudiya Discussions Latest, which brings you twenty threads that have last been updated. This feed links you to the latest unread post in the topic. The second is Gaudiya Discussions Random, which brings you twenty random threads from the depths of our archives -- especially useful and interesting if you haven't been around since the beginning and wouldn't know where to begin in going through all that's been said over the years. This feed brings you to the beginning of the topic.

The topic title includes a note in (parentheses) of the last time the thread was updated. If it's less than an hour, it'll show in minutes. If it's less than 48 hours, it'll show in hours. If it's more, you'll see the date of the latest post in that thread at the end of the title.

The RSS feeds are available at the following URLs:

GD Latest: http://www.gaudiyadiscussions.com/rss.php
GD Random: http://www.gaudiyadiscussions.com/rss_random.php

You'll also find links to them at the bottom of the forums, hover your mouse over the image to make them visible.

Using RSS Feeds in Mozilla Firefox - A Short Tutorial

RSS feeds are called Live Bookmarks in Firefox. They act akin to your regular bookmark folders, with the exception that the folders get automatically filled with links from the RSS feed.

When a site offers a RSS feed, you'll generally see the following icon at the bottom right of the browser window:

[attachmentid=1807]

Right click on it, and select the feed of choice. For now, we're grabbing Gaudiya Discussions Latest.

[attachmentid=1808]

Having selected it, you'll meet a familiar bookmark dialogue. We'll call it GD Latest for brevity, as the full title is a bit long and might not be visible in its entirety in the bookmarks toolbar. Click OK and you're done.

[attachmentid=1809]

If you selected the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder, you'll find that a button with the RSS feed icon and the text GD Latest has now appeared in your Bookmarks Toolbar. If you can't see a bookmarks toolbar, select View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar to get it visible. By clicking on the button, you'll see the twenty latest active topics of the forums, as in the picture above.

If you didn't choose the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder, but added the Live Bookmark elsewhere in your bookmarks, you'll find a similar view from Bookmarks > GD Latest:

[attachmentid=1810]

That's all there is to it!

The RSS feed tells Firefox to check for updates every 15 minutes. If, however, you'd like to check the latest news right away, you can just right click on your Live Bookmark and select, "Refresh Live Bookmark". The RSS feed is generated in real time from our server, so you'll always get the latest news even without browsing to the forums to check the situation out.

If for some reason you don't see the RSS feed icon described in the beginning of this tutorial, read here about adding it manually.

Using RSS Feeds in Mozilla Thunderbird - A Short Tutorial

If you're using Mozilla Thunderbird for reading your e-mails, you'll be pleased to know that Thunderbird also supports RSS feeds. Here's how to get them installed.

First, head to File > New > Account:

[attachmentid=1811]

Then, select RSS News & Blogs:

[attachmentid=1812]

Call it what you will, we'll just let it be News & Blogs for now:

[attachmentid=1813]

Click Next, and click Finish. You'll now notice that a new account has been created and is available for use. Select "Manage Subscriptions":

[attachmentid=1814]

Then click "Add" and fill in the RSS feed address for Gaudiya Discussions Latest: http://www.gaudiyadiscussions.com/rss.php

[attachmentid=1815]

For now, we'll select, "Show the article summary instead of loading the web page." Then click OK, and again OK. Now you'll find that the news of the latest 20 topics have been loaded to your News & Blogs inbox:

[attachmentid=1816]

If you click on a message, you'll find a summary of the thread:

[attachmentid=1817]

Click on the address in the Website: field to open the URL in your browser.

However, if we choose to see the full thing instead of the "article summary", you'll have Gaudiya Discussions right in your inbox:

[attachmentid=1818]

Of course, the links will open in your web browser -- you can't post directly from your e-mail client. If you'd like to change between the two views, summary and full thread, you can do that under Manage Subscriptions. Remember that the summaries, once loaded, will not be refreshed unless you delete them and download them again. The thread view, however, will be refreshed whenever viewed.

You can change the update interval from Tools > Accounts > News & Blogs. The default setting is "Check for new articles every 100 minutes".

Overall, Thunderbird isn't as useful for keeping track of the latest posts, but is certainly handy for getting immediate notifications of new threads. If you aren't a frequent visitor but like to check in now and then, this is a useful way to remind yourself of Gaudiya Discussions at the right time -- when there are new topics of interest.

Adding RSS feeds to My Yahoo

If you're using Yahoo Mail or otherwise have an account with Yahoo, you can add the latest news from Gaudiya Discussions on your front page. First of all, log in.

By far the easiest way around is to just click on the button below:

GD Latest: [attachmentid=1824]
GD Random: [attachmentid=1824]

Then just confirm, "Add To My Yahoo", and you're done:

[attachmentid=1825]

Easy enough?

You can also add it manually. Click "Add Content":

[attachmentid=1823]

Then, click "Add RSS by URL", and fill in the GD RSS feed address:

[attachmentid=1826]
[attachmentid=1827]

And there you have it. It gets added to the bottom of the page, but is easy enough to lift to the top by clicking Edit > Move to Top.

How to do it in IE?

Internet Explorer - Installing toolbars

Regrettably the current version of Internet Explorer doesn't support RSS feeds. The rumor is it'll be supported in version 7, coming out in a year or two. In the meantime, use a browser such as Mozilla Firefox for better functionality, with support for RSS feeds, tabbed browsing, better web standards compliance, custom styles and much more.

On a second thought, it seems that there are some third-party toolbars available for Internet Explorer that will allow you to read RSS feeds, such as these. Watch this space, I'm testing some of them now.

Diodia RSS Feeds Toolbar seems to do the trick just fine:

Do note that by default, it gets added to the extreme right of all the buttons and bars you have in your browser. You'll have to right click on the general toolbar area, unselect "Lock the Toolbars" and drag it to a more comfortable location to be able to properly use it.

The second entry at Download.Com refused to install on my Windows XP, freezing at the end of the installation. If it works for you, it should be a fine product as well, for what little I read of it.

Both are spyware-free as far as I can tell.

Google Homepage and RSS feeds

You can add customized news feeds to your Google home page. If you have a Gmail account, you're already registered with Google. You may also have an account with Google from another service of theirs.

To add RSS feeds to your Google home page, head to http://www.google.com/ig and click "Personalize your Google homepage". Then, choose "Create a Section" from the left side menu and paste in the RSS feed address and click "Go". Then sign in (if you didn't do that yet), and there you have it:
