Good news to those of you who have been asking us about this, we’ve finally added an RSS Feed for The BRAD BLOG.
It can be added to your RSS reader at this address: https://BradBlog.com/BradBlog.rdf
For those unfamiliar with RSS, it’s ostensibly a syndication feed that allows folks who use RSS-capable readers to “subscribe to our feed” (it’s free, of course) to receive automatic notification when new items are added to The BRAD BLOG. Here an article with more info on RSS at Wikipedia.
During our testing and set up, we have been using the RSS reader called PLUCK, a free application that works with Internet Explorer and can be downloaded for free here. There are many such RSS readers out there, however, and most are free. Here’s a listing of many downloadable RSS Readers for many different operating systems.
And MyYahoo users can now add our syndicated feed to their customized MyYahoo pages! Just click the “Add to MY YAHOO” graphic now in the right navigation sidebar and you’re done!
As we’ve just unleashed RSS here, and are just learning about RSS ourselves, please feel free to let us know via comments or email if there are any adjustments we may still need to make to ensure that the feed is working properly and is as convenient as possible for RSS users.
Thanks to all that have waited so patiently for us to find the time to get it added, and to our great friend Ronny Brodin for handling the bulk of the tedious technical details!
I suggest using the Firefox browser and setting up an active bookmark that links to an RSS feed. You can then put the bookmark in the Bookmark toolbar of Firefox. When you select it, it drops down to show you a list of links to stories on the site.
I haven’t tried it with BradBlog (YET) but will very shortly.
Ironically, I was displaced (temporarily) from my desk at work and set up the Thunderbird mail client. I set up folders with RSS feeds and was looking for a BradBlog RSS feed not 10 hours ago!
This is very much apreciated Brad, Thanks!
Missed a point, they’re called live bookmarks in firefox.
BookMarks > Manage Bookmarks > File > New Live Bookmark
Does the trick. Works quite nicely!
must remember, run through the process BEFORE posting about it 😉
Set it up in Thunderbird and it works nicely there as well.
Thanks for the confirms and updates, "me"! Glad that things seem to be working as expected! Much appreciated!
There is also the extension Habari Xenu for FireFox that is a nice news aggregator. It supports all RSS, XML, Atom, etc.
Brad, I did a little checking & calling.
You are next in the lawsuits for damages.
Make sure you paid your General Liability Insurance premium in advance.
I am giving you a heads up warning because I like you.

Please let them know I would love for them to sue me. These punks, thugs, and intimidators taste good even tho they look bad.
If they are as "solid on their logic" as some of the stuff you put out, I may feel ashamed after it is all over … cause …
People would say "picking on logic wimps Dredd … you were just picking on logic wimps".
I would respond … "no, the logic wimps sued me, I just defended with the facts and law, thats all".
