Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

My Yahoo RSS Feed

My home page for my browser is My Yahoo, partly because my home internet connection is furnished by a SBC / Yahoo partnership.

I was reading some of the tech stuff behind the Yahoo pages tonight and found this little gem:

Is My Yahoo! becoming a Newsreader?

Yes. A newsreader (sometimes called a news aggregator) is software that periodically polls a specified set of web sites or blogs, pulls the latest headlines, and displays them on a single page. It works a lot like My Yahoo! in gathering together content from all across Yahoo!.

With this beta release of the RSS Headlines module, My Yahoo! becomes a web-based newsreader that can display your choice of syndicated RSS feeds from tens of thousands of sources around the Web.

Whoa…. ever since I’ve discovered RSS feeds, I’ve been trying to find a decent method to read them. I tried Bloglines for a web based reader and Sharpreader, and they’re ok.

But embedding an RSS feed right into my My Yahoo page? Too cool! I started putting some instructions together to tell you how to do it, too… and then found the easiest method yet: A link! Just click on the “My Yahoo” button on the sidebar and Chasing the Wind will get added to your My Yahoo page, too. It’s this little button:

If you don’t know what an RSS feed is, Yahoo has an excellent RSS Frequently Asked Questions page.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
