I've just recently added the capability for you to subscribe to an RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feed of the content here at NeenahPolitics.com. This post contains simple instructions on how to subscribe based on the browser you use.

First of all, there's a link to click (isn't there always?). The RSS feed link is represented by one of these two icons:

   

You'll see the small icon in the "Archives" box or the "Blogs" box. You'll see the large icon on the Home page above the top-most entry. So click that first.

You'll then see a new page, either in a new window or a new tab, containing several of the NeenahPolitics.com blog entries in a simple format.

If you use Firefox, there's a prompt at the top of the page that looks like this:

Firefox RSS Subscription prompt

When you click the "Subscribe Now" button, Firefox will present another prompt that simply:

Asks you to give a name to the feed ("The Neenah Town Crank" is suggested already)

Asks you where to file it; that is, which Firefox Bookmarks folder to use

Once that's done, you don't need to go to the NeenahPolitics.com site to see the latest entries.  All you have to do is click on the Bookmarks menu where an entry for "The Neenah Town Crank" now appears:

Firefox Bookmarks menu

If you now hover your mouse over "The Neenah Town Crank", this menu appears:

Firefox RSS feed menu

Pretty simple.  Firefox will update the list of blog entries right there in the Firefox RSS menu.

Internet Explorer 7 operates in a similar fashion.  When you click on the RSS feed icon on the NeenahPolitics.com web page, you'll see the new page appear in your browser will all the recent blog entries:

Internet Explorer RSS Subscribe prompt

Just click on the link in the toolbar or click on the "Subscribe to this feed" prompt and you'll see this dialog box:

Internet Explorer RSS dialog box

Again, as in Firefox, just tell Internet Explorer how you want the feed to appear in the menu and where to put it.  Then just click "Subscribe".

Now, to see the feed in Internet Explorer you just click on the Favorites icon and you'll see your new feed listed:

Internet Explorer Favorites menu

When you click on "The Neenah Town Crank" a new web page will open up that contains all the most recent blog entries.

I have five browsers on my PC (I do web page development as a profession). I'm only going to mention one more, Opera, and that only briefly.  Once you click on the RSS link for NeenahPolitics.com, you'll see that new page with the simple listing of the content of The Neenah Town Crank.  Opera gives you a nice clean prompt at the top of the RSS page:

Opera RSS prompt

I'll let you figure it out from there!
