Certain websites provide web feeds or news feeds in RSS, Atom, or JSON format. News aggregators can check these feeds for updates allowing the user to subscribe to a blog or podcast.
Obtaining web feeds
Even if a website does not advertise a web feed, it might still provide one. Try appending /feed or /rss to the URL. If that fails, open the website's source code by pressing Ctrl+u and then Ctrl+f to search for <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" or <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml". The Firefox addon Awesome RSS adds a clickable icon to the address bar if a web feed is available.
If a website does not provide a feed, try RSS-Bridge.
The following sections describe how to obtain feeds for certain websites.
