To add a news feed, do the following:
Procedure 17.1 Adding a News Feed to Akregator
1
Determine the URL of your news feed. Normally this can be found on your pre-
ferred Web site. More links can be found in the KNewsticker tool, an applet for
the KDE panel.
2 Open Akregator by pressing Alt + F2 and entering
akregator
. It opens a new
window with the list of all feeds in your configuration. If you close this window,
it docks in the system tray.
3
Create a new folder with Feed > New Folder. This gives you the opportunity to
group your feeds in categories.
4 Name your new folder.
5 Click this folder and choose Feed > Add Feed.
6 Insert the feed URL, for example,
http://www.novell.com/newsfeeds/
rss/coolsolutions.xml
. A new window opens where you can change
the feed name, URL, or the update interval. With the Feed Archive tab, change
how long articles should be stored.
7 Proceed with Ok. Akregator downloads the latest articles.
After the download of the latest headers is finished, you can click an entry. Depending
on the feed, this can list a small summary or just a link. With Complete Story, read the
entire article.
Check for new news manually with Fetch Feed. Another option is to specify an update
interval. Configure this by clicking Settings > Configure Akregator. A window opens
where you can select the interval in General > Use interval fetching. Confirm with Ok.
You can read the complete story in Akregator or an external browser. Clicking Complete
Story lets you select which.
