Oh, on options it says something like default 200 articles.  Do your
articles delete after you get 200 in each feed?

I don't think you have to delete what you have read. Possibly the direction
you heard was to delete the feed which you won't want to do unless you want
to get rid of the Register feed you found.

Okay, folks, I listened to the Freedom Scientific Podcast on IE RSS reader.
I have IE 8.  Although it was a little different, I was able to subscribe to
the Des Moines Register news feed.  I thought the podcast said to go to
properties to delete articles after you had read them.  I can't find where
to delete the articles after I have read them. Thanks in advance for your
assistance!

I use both. With Jaws 9, I was using firefox almost exclusively, but with
the past jaws 10 releases, there have been a couple of issues with jaws and
firefox making it more tedious to use firefox as opposed to IE. That
duplicate link thing I mentioned on google reader for instance and a memory
lag issue or something that causes jaws to stall for a second or two quite
randomly. In any event, these issues aren't present in IE and so I use IE
more out of necessity rather than preference.

 

I prefer google reader because you can create folder for topics and sort
your feeds according to them. I for instance, have sports, news, finances,
technology etc. These appear as links too. Mainly, the reason I prefer
google reader over IE's integrated feed reader and others is that I can skim
through the various updates very fast. Each update has the link to that
particular story, the rss feed title of the page, one quick line of the
content and a quick summary blerb. In addition to the updates being
displayed in chronological order. Mainly though, because google reader is
really just another webpage, I can either just leave it open in a separate
tab while I'm doing other stuff online or on my pc in general. No need to
launch an entirely different application or go into some menu thing to check
to see if there are any new updates etc. Just tab over to google reader and
skim down the page or just refresh it. Simple as that.

Cristobal,

   Do you use Firefox exclusively, or do you ever use IE with JAWS 10 and
specifically with RSS?Is there any problem with double links with RSS and IE
in JAWS 10?  What was better about Google Reader vs My Yahoo?  Was it an
accessibility thing?  

   I'm never dealt with RSS at all and wish to learn what people go through
as I am delving into the blogosphere and want to see what my audience will
see.  

Thanks again,

Kevin

Google Rreader works for me quite well. I used to use My Yahoo, but I feel
as though reader is better. Since Jaws 10, however, there's been an issue
with a double link appearing for each rss update in Firefox. Other then
that, it works fine with Jaws. You can skim through the various updates just
by pressing the h key. I've got over 190 feeds so this quick key is very
helpful.

Dear All,

    I am considering adding a blog with an RSS feed to my website.  I have
never used RSS as either a content purveyor or a recipient. while reading a
commercial blog last night, I noticed that the reader was given the option
of subscribing to this blog via any number of well known RSS services such
as Hostgator News and others.  Do any of you have any opinions on which of
these RSS readers is more or less accessible?  Is there an "Industry Leader"
among the general sighted population?  Do the blind as a group use something
other than the industry leader for accessibility reasons?  thanks for any
info.  

Best,

Ke
