What is RSS?

If you're unaware of what RSS is or why you should be using it, watch this short video from Common Craft answering both of those questions:

And if you have a slower internet connection or don't want to watch the video, you can learn more about RSS from WhatIsRSS.com.


Key Points to Understanding and Using RSS.

1. It is all free!
2. It saves you time by bringing new articles TO YOU rather than you having to go out to various news sites or blogs and looking for new articles.
3. The stream of new articles from a particular site are called it's "RSS Feed".
4. To subscribe to the RSS Feed and read the articles, you need an RSS Reader or News Aggregator. (see our list of options below)
5. Once you choose the RSS Reader you want to use, set up a free account there and then click on the links above to subscribe to the RSS Feeds you wish to read.
6. To sign up for RSS Feeds from other sites, look for this image when online. Clicking it will give you options for more subscribing to their free RSS Feeds.

If you do not already use RSS, these are just some of the options available for the Reader/Aggregator.

I think what you all are doing is wonderful, but remember that the bio-diesel that you are using is taking food off the table for many, CORN is the major supplier of cattle, chicken, bread, dog, cat feed and most food products. Things such as switchgrass and hemp oil should be used instead of food. We haven't enough land to grow that much corn and one would like to visit the grocery and not FREAK OUT like at the gas pump. I have milked cows for 30 years, would hate to figure how much corn that took for all those millions of pounds of milk you all drink.

GOOD LUCK,
Cathy Parksville

I love your RSS feed except it sends SO many articles. I can't keep up. You should make a 'best of feed' for those of us that don't have all day to go through our news readers.

jump to top Guest says:

Mike, there's no "Author" field in the XML feed. I like to know who's writing the post. Can you fix this, please?

Thanks!

Or make multiple feeds. Like per category.
So i can subscribe to just Design + Architecture and Science + technology.

Agreed, you need to also offer smaller RSS feeds - topic based, keywords, or something like that.

TreeHugger is becoming my most unread RSS feed because there are just too many articles and i have to mark-as-read to catch up.

jump to top N. says:

Basically, I'm just writing to show my support for the former comments. A more section based or best of feed would be really appreciated.

I love reading Treehugger, but there are some things I already know I will skip over and with so many articles I often click mark all as read in order just to keep up with your awesomeness!

In your RSS feed could you please add a line break after the image. Right now the image has 3 words to the right making it hard to read. I would be happy to should you a screen shot. I am using Google Reader.

jump to top William Nordmann says:

Could you add a "comments" feed so you can read all the latest comments?


also...

I love reading Treehugger, but i have recently unsubscribed due to the heavy volume becauses it has become more of a task than a pleasure. i too would love to only subscribe to design and architecture. please consider if you do this i will come back. thanks!

...but all in all you guys are doing great work. kudos!

jump to top JOJO says:

I agree with the past comments regarding the sections. I subscribe to the RSS feed with Google Reader but i recieve way too many articles to read through. I end up reading only 10-20 of the 50+ articles a day. I'm only interested in 2-3 of your sections. I end up just ignoring articles i would probably actually be interested in.

Otherwise I consider Treehugger.com my #1 site for green information - it's just that you have too much info for me to keep up on and would like to stall in touch with just the info that relates to me.

jump to top eric says:

I have to unsubscribe because I don't have time to read 50+ articles a day, but I would love to some back if topic based or top articles of the day feeds are ever created. Thanks for doing a wonderful job! Hopefully smaller feeds will one day be available.

jump to top Courtney says:

I agree strongly with the comments above - I am a big fan of Treehugger but I had to unsubscribe my feed since it was just too many posts per day, and it overwhelmed my other feeds.

Please introduce a category based feed system. I think that would be very useful to your readership.

Thank you!

Yes.
Don't want to cause cause aggravation but...

The web is already big enough to give one agoraphobia

So I would agree in sense at least, with the aggrieved -
It's agreat shame you don't offer section by section aggregation.

I completely agree that TreeHugger really needs to provide RSS feeds per category. I unfortunately am also going to need to unsubscribe from TreeHugger now, after having subscribed for over two months. I really enjoy the posts in a couple categories, but if I am away for a few days then going through literally hundreds of irrelevant postings just says "delete all" to me. I'll make a note to come back to TreeHugger in the future to see if they have corrected this problem. It's a great site with a distribution problem that unfortunately ends up turning some folks off to it. It shouldn't be a 0%/100% model!

Thanks for hopefully improving this soon.

jump to top Scott says:

I'd like to add my voice to those requesting category specific feeds. I love the site, but don't have time to read everything. I'd be more likely to subscribe if I could filter my subscription by category. My particular interest is anything related to bicycling, and with a cycling-specific feed, I'd be a more frequent visitor.

Thanks for a fantastic site!

jump to top Geoff says:

Thanks for the great work..

Thanks a lot..

jump to top seks says:

Too many articles in the feed! Make a most popular AND category specific RSS.

Please put some work into this site this has been a request for a long time.

jump to top jtwilkins says:

I love Treehugger, but I have to put in a vote for the category RSS feeds. I would get more out of the articles if I didn't feel overwhelmed by articles that I'm not really interested in.

lol,.Funny,, esp. the one with trenchcoat and baseball cap. nice pic.

jump to top cenk oyun says:

I am having a problem viewing the full articles in Treehugger via Google Reader (with add on "Better Greader") Basically, because the left bar of the site is so big, it pushes the text off the screen so I can't read it. So I have to open each post in a new tab in order to read it. As a result, I am reading fewer posts because it is more cumbersome. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Treehugger, please fix the css so it can be read better in Google Reader!

Thanks for the great work..

Very useful idea.
thanks for this post.

Great work on finally giving us category feeds. However, a few suggestions as you seem to think that people will either be interested in a feed of everything or a single category! Why do I say this, because -

1) all the feeds are called "Treehugger". I can easily rename the feeds after subscribing (and checking carefully which feed is which), but I would expect your feeds to be named with the category name!

2) if you subscribe to multiple categories, you get any articles that span categories multiple times! The solution to this is to allow a feed of multiple categories where people simply specify which categories (tags?) they want in a single feed. e.g. http://feeds.feedburner.com/treehugger/rss?cars-transportation&travel-nature&design-architecture would be a feed of those 3 categories.

Any plans to offer RSS feeds by author? I would love to subscribe to Alex Pasternack.

Every time I catch the "Recipe of the Week" I'm inspired, but I find it gets lost in the shuffle if I don't read my TH RSS feed every day.

Can you make an RSS feed that just incorporates the "Recipes of the Week?"

While I realize you can't make a custom feed to suit everybody's interest, I think this one would make sense since its such a specialized niche.

jump to top mike the bike says:

This is regarding the RSS feed Transportation. What type of RSS feed is this?

RSS 0.90, 0.91, 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, 1.0, 2.0, or Atom?

jump to top Amber says:

Any idea why I receive so many duplicates from TreeHugger?

ex. Researchers Have Found a New Greenhouse Gas Nearly 5,000-Times Worse than CO2


I got his 3 times in Google Reader all with different time stamps.

jump to top Chris says:

I'm having a slight problem with your feeds and google reader, it has being happening for about three weeks or so, I'm getting feeds twice/three times. I check treehugger feeds a few times a day star what i want to read fully and move on. I've noticed that the feeds are back again that evening/next day. I have no problem with re-reading the feed list again which is why i mark it with a star for follow up, but would prefer to receive the whole feed list again.

Thanking you first on the work you have put in to the feeds and secondly that you may be able to help me out.

regards,
John Mack

jump to top John Mack says:

Yes, I've also been getting multiple copies of the same posts in Google Reader. Any fixes on that yet?

jump to top Jonathan says:

I wish there was more of the article in the rss feed - i don't want to have to leave my reader to see the complete article - kind of defeats the purpose of rss for me.

thanks!
