Reading News Feeds with
Akregator
If you want to get the latest news, get your information with a news feed reader. One
reader is Akregator. It connects to a server that contains a newsticker file and downloads
it then shows the headlines and sometimes a small text to give an overview. See
Fig-
ure 17.1, "Akregator Showing Some News"
(page 233). If interested in this news, click
it and view it in a separate tab.
Figure 17.1 Akregator Showing Some News
Akregator contains some predefined news feeds for KDE. You can add news feeds
manually or some Web sites announce it. For example, a Web site with feed support
contains an orange rectangle in the bottom right corner. Click it to open a pop-up menu
where you can select Add Feed to Akregator. Sometimes a Web site does not announce
that it supports a news feed. Then you can search this site with some keywords like
feed or rss. Sometimes you are successful and can obtain a link.
