My Experience with RSS Feeds

This week I set up my first RSS feed on my browser. I use chrome on my laptop, so setting up the feedly was a bit different than the course outline described. This was a small challenge as I wasn't sure where to look at times, and navigating the chrome APPs page was eventually what led me to establish my quick tab for the RSS feeds.

Once I established the feed, adding the content was surprisingly very simple! Feedly adds a green + to the orange RSS feed button so it's easy for me to see which webpages are compatible. From then on I was able to view and add web pages to my RSS feed. What surprised me was how many pages are available to add to my feed. This makes the application extremely customizable, and within minutes I was able to add multiple pages. I also enjoy that its possible to sort the importance of the feeds I have added by choosing favourites that will always appear at the top of my list.

One feed that I've added to my favourites is the New York Times 'Food' page. I love looking for new recipes online and I've normally turned to Pinterest for my daily cooking ideas. But this page has recipes that have video tutorials attached to them, and a breakdown of the related recipes that would pair well.
