How to Get Automatic Updates for this Website (RSS Feed)
You can setup your web browser to check for new content at thomasclark.us without visiting our website. My website does this by providing an RSS Feed, all you have to do is add/configure an RSS Aggregator to your computer. In the example below, we will setup Feedbro, an RSS Aggregator you can get for Chromium and Firefox web browsers including Microsoft Edge and my favorite browser Chromium/Brave-based browser – Dissenter! IMPORTANT - See Footnote Below1)
Please note: browser extensions, including any RSS Aggregator is likely to have a heckuva a lot of access to the browser information for the browser it is installed to. For this reason, I have 2 web browsers on all my computers. I use one web browser with no extensions whatsoever and that is my secure browser that I use for highly confidential websites such as my bank website and Amazon. The other browser is my casual browser and I use it for general web-surfing (such as going to Youtube and thomasclark.us).
In this case we will use the Dissenter browser, but your browser should be similar.
- then copy the url from any of topics below (highlight and press simultaneously the [Ctrl] + [C] keys on your keyboard;
⇓ - then repeat 10 through 17 to add all the thomasclark.us topics that you want to follow.
If all has gone well you have now set up your Feedbro reader and you no longer have to visit the thomasclark.us website to read any new articles for the topics you are interested in.
Topics
The last word in the URL is the topic! Copy one topic by highlighting the entire URL and pressing [Ctrl] + [C] on your keyboard.
https://thomasclark.us/feed.php?mode=list&type=atom1&linkto=current&content=html&media=pages&ns=politics https://thomasclark.us/feed.php?mode=list&type=atom1&linkto=current&content=html&media=pages&ns=entertainment https://thomasclark.us/feed.php?mode=list&type=atom1&linkto=current&content=html&media=pages&ns=linux https://thomasclark.us/feed.php?mode=list&type=atom1&linkto=current&content=html&media=pages&ns=tools
After copying the topic of your choice return to Step 11 above.
How to Use Feedbro
The feeds you subscribe to show up in the left hand column. You can edit the settings of a single feed by right-clicking on the feed and selecting “Properties”. If you want to get the entire backlog of entries from a feed, set the “Maximum entries to save” to 2000 as seen here.
At the upper right you have global advanced settings.
That's all I'm going to cover here, other than to say that you can use this technology to pull into your browser a bunch of different articles from other bloggers and news outlets without having to visit websites individually.
