You won’t be overwhelmed by content that may be irrelevant to you. So basically what this means is that through your filtering, you see what you want to see. You can also filter through tags as well. To access posts on category: Yammer (all posts I’ve written about Yammer) use this URL instead: (Of course, you can just buy a subscription to a service that does this for you such as Feedly Pro + with the AI engine if you really wanted to).įor example, to access my feed that you can then add to your feed reader, simply copy the following URL It’s a great way to manage the influx of articles and blog posts that come your way especially if you are following general article sites such as Harvard Business Review. That way, only blog posts related to say, “SOCIAL LEARNING” or “MICROSOFT” or whatever, comes to you. Therefore, you can FILTER the RSS feeds to ONLY find blog posts of certain categories and tags that you’re interested in. However, every post I create is categorised and tagged. I’m writing in my blog nearly every single day but you may not be interested in every post. It will make your life a lot easier.įor example, I write A LOT of blog posts. If I wanted to create a blog roll that has different feeds related to categories or tags dependent on the content I share, I can add these here. You can also add blog feeds to your own blog.įor example, my blog (this one here) is powered by WordPress. You can add feeds from pretty much any website – including YouTube (if you don’t want to miss the videos from your favourite YouTuber). RSS stands for ‘really simple syndication and is a program designed for systems to make content ‘pleasant to look at’ as well as stay up to date with your favourite news, content host or blogger. I used Feedlt PRO + (which uses the AI engine that searches from within the content to further refine the content) until I realised I don’t need it and instead can do it myself through filtering on ‘tags’ and ‘categories’ of some WordPress blog posts I follow. If you’re relying on social networks to serve you up the content you want to read – you’re not in control.Īs such I have been using RSS Feeds for many years and using Feedly Pro as my feed reader. The best thing you can do is to put some semblance of control. Thing is, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, whatever social network you use, it’s unlikely they’ll display all the content you think you’re subscribed to or following simply because of the sheer volume of posts. Well, I hate to say it but if you’re relying on social networks for you to find different blog posts and other content, then you’re going to miss out on a whole heap of things. When I told some people about how I want to reduce my social media use and instead return to using my blog, they asked, “how will we find your blog if you’re not always on social media?”
