If, however, you're thinking "hang on, what is a Feed Reader?", read on...

What are Feeds and Feed Readers?

'Feeds' are the content of websites. They can include words, text, audio or video. Feeds are in RSS (Really Simple Syndication) format to make it as simple as possible to distribute the content.

'Feed Readers' are applications that gather the Feeds of blogs and other news sites into one place. You decide the Feeds that go into your Reader, and there are thousands out there. The huge benefit of a Feed Reader is that you can read the latest news you're really interested in from one place, without having to hunt through a dozen or more bookmarked sites.

Some Readers work through your internet browser, others are downloadable applications.

As well as the Push Creativity Blog, you’ll find Feeds available on other blogs and major news websites, with all these leading names having a dedicated page of RSS feeds you can subscribe to, depending on your interest..

BBC News Headlines 17 RSS News Feeds

The Daily Telegraph over 100 RSS Feeds

Farmer’s Weekly nine RSS Feeds

Farmer's Guardian over 10 RSS feeds available across the site

Construction News over 20 RSS Feeds

Creative Review links to the Blog, available as RSS Feed

New Civil Engineer 15 RSS feeds

In fact wherever you see the orange Feed logo (the dot and two curves at the top of this post) there will be a Feed you can add to your Feed Reader.

We recommend you get hold of a Feed Reader and start subscribing – to our blog of course, but any others Feeds you’re interested in. As well as keeping on top of world news, local news, industry news and interesting blogs, you’ll quickly get the hang of this revolutionary aspect of online communication.

How do I get hold of a Feed Reader?

Your internet browser may already have a built-in Feed Reader (later versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Safari do). Look for the Feed  logo in your browser and click on it. You should get the option to add this blog's RSS feed to your built in reader. More information on Internet Explorer's built-in feed reader can be found on Microsoft's page about feed reading.

If you don't have a Feed Reader on your browser, we recommend you open a FREE Google Account to start using Google Reader. Set up your account here, on Google Reader's homepage.

Once you have Google Reader in place, return to our blog, and click here to
subscribe to the PUSH Blog by Feed Reader. Or you can look for the RSS logo next to the words "subscribe in a reader", then click 'add to Google' and our updates will appear whenever you click on your Google Reader page. All blogs should have a 'subscribe' box with an RSS logo somewhere, if you want to subscribe to them too!
