What is RSS?

Hello everyone! I'm back and I've brought my RSS Feed with me for today's post. I will briefly explain what RSS is, the service I'm using and so on down below.

It can be hard to keep track of all the content online since new stuff gets shared every day. There is an easy way though: RSS.


What is an RSS Feed?

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". It allows you to subscribe to websites and blogs and whenever they have something new published, you can see it on a single page instead of having to check every single site if there are new posts. It helps you save a lot of time and effort.


How To Use RSS Feed?

  • The first thing you should do is installing a feedreader
    • You can download the one I'm using here. If you don't want to install it on your computer, they have an online feedreader option as well (which you will see when you click on the link).
  • Secondly, after you install it follow the steps in the picture below

  • After that, paste your link on the page that appears and click"okay".

It is that simple! You will see your feed on the screen right away.

Here is how my own RSS feed looks like:


The blogs that I follow can be seen on the left and the posts that they have shared are on the right with the dates and titles. I can group them however I want but right now I'm using the "No grouping" option.


(My RSS Feed can also be seen my blog down on the right side of my page. Check them out if you want!)


And I want to show you one of my favorite ELT blogs. It is called ELT Planning. This blog belongs to Pete who is from Bangkok and he mainly shares his ideas about ELT and tips for the other teachers.



For example, he posts about the details of a game he played in class to give ideas to the others.


Pete's blog isn't as professional as the other ones in my feed but I certainly recommend you to follow these kinds of blogs as well. Pete's blog does have lots of fun ideas that everyone could make use of!

Thank you for reading my post!
