Feedly: Get Your Fill of News and Info

Even though it may take some time to get the hang of it, feedly is a really helpful tool that you can use on your phone to easily keep up with all the latest updates from your favorite blogs, news sites, and even social media like Facebook.

If you’ve ever tried to keep up with what’s happening on lots of different blogs and news sites, you know it can be a real pain and take up a lot of your time. But with feed readers, they make it way easier by putting all the updates from the websites you like in one place. This means you can read, save, and share them without any hassle.

A few years ago, the top feed reader tool was called Google Reader. But when Google decided to get rid of it, lots of people were left scrambling to find a new tool to do the same job. Lucky for them, feedly came to the rescue and quickly became a popular choice.

The Best Parts

Let me tell you about feedly – it’s a really cool tool that puts all your news updates in one place. It’s like having your own personal newspaper! Check out some of its awesome features:

All Your Updates in One Place

When you log into feedly, the first thing you’ll see is your home page. It’s like a dashboard that shows you the latest updates from all your favorite sources. The headlines that are plain are updates you’ve already read, while the ones in bold are updates you haven’t gotten to yet.

Over on the left sidebar, you’ll find a neat list of all the sources that I’ve already added to feedly. If you want to explore one specific source a bit more, just give its name a click.

Make It Your Own

When it comes to checking out the latest updates, feedly gives you three sweet options to choose from: title only, magazine, and card view. I’ll give you a little taste of all three:

When you’re on this page, you can change the way things look and work by using the drop-down settings menu. Just click on the gear at the top of the page and it will open up for you.

In this menu, you have a couple of different options. First, you can do something called bulk management. This means you can make changes to a bunch of things all at once. For example, you can change the status of multiple updates without having to do them one by one. It makes things a lot faster and easier.

You can also tweak how the updates are presented. This means you can change how they look and how they’re organized. You can make things bigger or smaller, or you can make them show up in a different order. It’s up to you!

Another cool thing you can do is choose a theme. A theme is like a design or a style that changes the way things look on the page. And there are lots of different themes to choose from! If you scroll down to the bottom of the sidebar, you’ll see a link that says Themes. Just click on that, and you can pick the one you like best.

Now, let me tell you about reading an update.

When you see an update on the page, you can click on it to read more. When you do that, a reading pane will open up. This is a special window that shows you more details about the update.

If you want, you can also change the settings so that when you click on an update, it will take you to the original source of the update in a new tab. That means you’ll see the update on a different webpage. It’s another option you have to make the experience even better for you.

How to Add Content Sources

Welcome to Feedly, where I’m going to show you how to add the content sources that you’re interested in. It’s really simple, so let’s get started!

First, we need to go to the Add Content screen. You can find it easily, just look for the button with the same name.

Once you’re on the Add Content screen, you have two options to find the sources you want to follow. The first option is to search for update feeds using a source title, a URL, or a topic hashtag. This can be helpful if you already know the name of the source you’re looking for, or if you want to follow a specific topic.

The second option is to browse sources using categories. This is a great way to explore different topics and find new sources that you may not have discovered before. Just click on the category that interests you, and Feedly will show you all the sources related to that topic.

So, whether you already know what you’re looking for or you want to discover something new, Feedly has got you covered. Adding content sources has never been easier!

Getting Your Sources and Updates in Order

Want to know a nifty trick for organizing your sources and updates? Just click on the “Organize” link at the bottom of the sidebar, and you’ll be able to create and customize collections. These collections will be displayed in a neat list on the sidebar, making it super easy for you to find what you need.

Now, here’s the cool part – you can slice and dice your sources and updates based on categories or interests. This is a handy way to keep your update list under control. Instead of scrolling through a never-ending list, you can quickly find the updates you’re most interested in.

So, go ahead and give it a try! Start organizing your sources and updates with just a few clicks. Trust me, it’ll make your life a whole lot easier.

What I Loved

Let me tell you about a few things that really impressed me:

Easy Content Sharing

I loved how feedly has this cool sharing toolbar right at the top of the screen when you’re reading an article. It’s so convenient! Plus, they have a neat feature that lets you set up your social media updates in advance. You can choose what text to include (like via Twitter ID) and even add specific hashtags. This saves you the hassle of typing it all out every single time. Genius!

Saving Updates for Later

When you read an update, it disappears from the list. But don’t worry! If you find one that you really like or want to finish later, just click on the little flag next to the update’s headline. This will save it for you. You’ll know it’s saved because it will be highlighted in green. You can find all your saved updates on the Saved screen.

Mobile Apps

Guess what? Feedly has special apps just for your phone or tablet! Whether you have an iPhone or an Android device, you can download the Feedly app. This means you can catch up on all the latest updates during dead time, like waiting in line or when you’re waiting for the kids after school!

One of the best perks of going pro is feedly’s Power Search. It’s like their regular search function on steroids! Imagine having the ability to sift through hundreds of updates effortlessly. It’s a game-changer, I swear.

What I Didn’t Like

When I first started using this tool, it took me way longer than it should have to really understand how everything worked. There were so many cool things it could do, but I had a hard time figuring out how to make them all happen. What made it even trickier was that the help and documentation weren’t very helpful at all.

I tried looking up information and guides on other websites (thank goodness for Google search!), but a lot of what I found was outdated. This just made things even more confusing. For example, I wanted to add a Twitter feed to my update sources, but it turns out that Twitter doesn’t offer update feeds anymore. So, adding one now is a totally different process than it used to be.
