Akregator rss news newspaper reader minihowto for linux. (I am using ubuntu 8.04 and kde)  :-)           Back to Main Page

Program for reading newspapers etc.

This is a "fairly" short version, and if you want to know more, go to the Internet etc.

This howto is without any guarantee, and you may use it on your own responsibility only.

There may be errors, but I do not want to use too much time to  write this howto.

To check specific words you may try:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (search).
 
   


I am mainly showing the use of Akregator by screenshots:

---

Above is the main Akregator window - it consists of 3 smaller windows:

Click on the small downwards showing arrow to update the newspapers

Left is the window where you choose your newspaper.

Top right is the window where you choose the article to read.





Bottom right is the link to the newspaper -or to a selected article - you may click on the "Complete Story" link to read article, and then the article opens in a new tab - see

below:

In order to add an address for e.g. an American news paper you might open a Google search page, and then insert following phrase:

usa newspaper rss feed

Then choose: Feed - Add Feed:



and then insert e.g. "http://www.usatoday.com/news/default.htm" - OK



(I have added some rss feed newspaper addreses at bottom of page)



Above here is the rss paper "usatoday" opened - please note that each article you choose are opened in its individual tab

In order to set up akregator according to your own choice choose: Settings - Configure Akregator:





Here you can make your setup in each of the 5 tabs: General - Archive - Appearance - Browser - Advanced
