Academic Tech Tips

If you have favorite news websites or blogs that you like to visit everyday, it’s possible to automatically receive the latest articles on one page, almost like getting the morning paper delivered to your doorstep.  With Alesti, you can easily subscribe to blogs and RSS feeds and access them from any computer or mobile device.

How it Works

A feed subscription functions much like a magazine subscription; once you subscribe you will automatically receive the latest updates.  The presence of a feed icon indicates that feeds are available on a website. In order to subscribe to a feed, you can either click on the Add button from the Alesti Web site,  then add the URL of the website that offers a feed – or add the Subscribe with Alesti bookmarklet button to your Web browser.

How to Sign Up

Signing up for Alesti is easy – and free!  In order to register, you’ll need to provide your email address and create a password .  Once you sign up,  remember to subscribe to the ITS Technology Tips Blog!

If you have favorite news sites or blogs that you like to visit every day, you may already be already using a feed reader to manage your subscriptions.  Web-based feed readers such as Google Reader, enable users to subscribe to and read multiple weblogs and news feeds all in one place, from any computer or mobile device.  If you are just getting started with using a tool like Google Reader or if you are just interested in finding new sites then you should check out Google’s compilation of reading lists.  Google’s second edition of Power Readers features top picks from prominent journalists, techies, fashion critics and foodies.  Visit www.google.com/powerreaders to explore and subscribe to any of their reading lists, or to any individual Web sites that they recommend.
