Feeds

[Karen F]

At the top of the Windows Live Mail screen I have a category "read feeds and
unread feeds" and in it are MSNBC posts up to 6/11/2010. How do I get
more recent feeds and do I have to delete the old feeds? I don't quite
understand what these feeds are? I never had them with XP but I had the
newsgroups.

Thanks.

I don't know how Windows Live works in that regard, but "feeds" are
Microsoft-speak for what is commonly known as RSS. An RSS Aggregator
such as Windows Live will watch for changes in certain web pages that
you specify, and allow you to read them all via one program.

Karen if you want a MSNBC feed go to their website and scroll down the page
(normally at bottom) and look for RSS feeds or just RSS. Click on this and a
page will open showing you all the feeds available for MSNBC. Any web site
(almost any) will have these feeds. I have Fox news, WSJ news, CBS news, NBC
news C-Span etc. You can also get newspaper feeds. They are all free but you
may have to put up with a 15 or 30 second add. Best way to get your news or
any other web site current info.
