To find it you just go to the "Extra's" button located in th
e top bar menu, where the settings and account buttons are. If it did not auto select go to the “Subscription Tools” tab and navigate to the bottom of the page. At the bottom you will find what looks to be a link that says “Subscribe in NewsGator Online”. For Firefox or Safari, simply place your pointer on it and left click. Hold the left click and move your pointer to the “Links” part of your browser toolbar and drop the link (release the mouse button). If you are using Internet Explore just right click
on the link and select “Add to Favorites”. These actions will place a new link into your browser links and will allow you to select it just like any other link that you might have in that area.Now comes the powerful part. When you are out surfing the web and you come across a web page that you really like and it has RSS feeds you simply click your new “Subscribe in NewsGator Online” button and it automatically captures the feed information. Then it takes you back to a NewsGator page where you select where you want the new feed to be positioned within your feeds folders. After you select the folder just click “Add Subscription” and you are now a subscr
iber to that page’s feeds.The only drawbacks that I noticed is how much space it takes up in the links bar and the fact that you have to be logged into NewsGator Online for it to work though. The first issue was easily resolved in Firefox through the Organize Bookmarks function and in Internet Explore I simply changed the name when saving the link. In both cases I renamed the link to something smaller but easy to remember what it meant. The second I do not really think there is a way around logging into NewsGator before trying to add links because otherwise it would not know who you are or what files to add the new feed too.
Needless to say this tool worked as promised and I really did not have any problems trying to use it.
