Never Miss AFC News Again

OK someone asked about this the other day and it's probably more important now that news is only posted to the site 2 or 3 times a week.

Is there a way my PC can tell me when news is posted to Amy's Fan Club?

Yes there is! Basically you need a free general piece of software, called an RSS Newsreader, which allows you to specify what kind of news you would like to be told about. This software takes a special newsfeed known as Atom or XML and puts just the news bulletins you're interested in all in the same place.

As you browse around news sites (and Weblogs) on the internet you'll see little icons like this: . When you see this icon it means you can tell your RSS newsreader to keep checking that site for news on an hourly basis. Amy's Fan Club of course has an XML feed which you can use just for this.

Where do I get this amazing software?

Easy, just Click Here, have a quick read about the software, click on the download button and follow the instructions. N.B. don't forget step 1 about installing the Microsoft Framework software, it'll only take a minute. After you have downloaded RSS Reader, simply open it, click on the ADD button for adding a newsfeed and type http://awbfanclub.blogspot.com/atom.xml in the box. Then click Next, wait for the software to find Amy's Fan Club and VOILA!

If any of this proves too tricky you can of course email Amelia for help.
