If you’ve browsed websites, you may have seen certain links or images that indicate an “RSS Feed”, but may not have any idea what that means. An RSS feed basically is a link to a file that updates whenever the site itself updates, and you can use this feed with other websites or softwares to alert you when there is an update to the original site. However, not everybody has access to some sort of RSS reader (whether it’s Google Reader or simply Google Personalized Homepage).

However, if you still want to be alerted when there is an update to a specific site, there is a very simple way. Keep reading for the guide.

1. Visit the website Feed My Inbox and put in the link to the site you want. Hopefully, they have some sort of RSS feed. If they don’t, look for the link to the RSS feed (it probably is some file that has a .xml extension, but can be different) and use that link.
2. Put in your email address and hit Submit. You will now be alerted once a day with every update that occurs on the website of your desire.

This way, you can consolidate all of the websites you would normally check into one site – your email account. If you see an interesting post or something, then you could go to the website and read more about it. This is especially useful if you need to track things such as deals and sales from sites like SlickDeals or FatWallet.
