How to use RSS feeds with J-Blogs

Written by: OG Jappleng

Generally, feeds on Jappleng can be found by simply typing /feed at the end of a section and it probably will work. When doing so,  you will gain access to the RSS feed and can subscribe to it using your browser or browser plugin. You can even use software to keep track of RSS feeds.

What are RSS feeds?
RSS feeds are a lot like a notification system that is built into your browser or software of choice, and whenever it discovers there's a new post, it will inform you or include the post as part of a scrolling ticker. RSS feeds were very popular in the mid 2000s when blogs were very popular but since then has lost traction. We support them for those who still want to use them.

This depends if you allow RSS feeds in your browser, for instance firefox has a few plugins which will display an RSS icon in the address bar which gives you instant access to it. If you don't have such a plugin, you will most likely need to download one or software that supports it as Firefox stopped natively supporting RSS ticker feeds for many years now.

If you want to track all new posts, you can go to:

If you want to track new posts for any blog you will need to go to
