Step-by-Step to get the Land Trust’s RSS news feed from Google


Getting news feeds from the North Olympic Land Trust is as easy as 1-2-3.  Well, maybe as easy as counting to ten!  Here is a step-by-step to get a news reader from Google, one of the popular choices for a free news reader.

  1. Use your Browser to go to the Google http://www.google.com/.
  2. Click on the reader.google.com link and sign up for an account.
  3. Once you have an account, sign in with your password and click on the link that says “Manage Account.” 
  4. One of the Services listed on the right side is “Reader.” When you click on that, you should be on the Google Reader Page where you can add the RSS feeds you want to have in your list to view.
  5. Click on the button that says “Add Subscription.”
  6. Up will pop a box that will ask you to enter a search term to find feeds OR “paste a feed URL.”
  7. That’s where you paste the URL (known as a domain address) for the North Olympic Land Trust which is: http://www.northolympiclandtrust.org/ 
  8. Click “add” Google also lists a lot of other feeds you can add as well in the same way (i.e.: choose “paste a feed URL” and paste in the URL of your choice.)  
  9. Once you hit the “Add” button, the Land Trust feed will show up underneath the “Add” box.
  10. Click on that, and up will come all the feeds that have been entered on the site, with the most recent being a link and stories list for the Land Trust’s StreamFest 2007!

No matter which method you choose, we hope you’ll soon be enjoying all the latest news from North Olympic Land Trust!   You can also add feeds from like-minded organizations such as the National Land Trust Alliance.  

Eventually, you’ll probably end up with more feeds than you want or can read regularly. In most readers, to delete a feed you’re no longer interested in, you simply delete its title. Then your RSS reader won’t seek out that information anymore, and you won’t get any content from the publisher unless you go to its site or resubscribe to the feed.
