Hi Douglas,

Yep - that's what happens for me too - Accessible RSS will add this particular feed, but says there are no headlines (which isn't true). With quite a few other feeds though, I've had the problem with adding them.

I might try one of the other freely available readers you mention.

Thanks,
Catherine

Catherine, I just tried the Google feed you mention in Accessible RSS and
cannot get it to work.  Strange though, because I seem to remember that it
usually complains that it cannot use the feed when you try to add it. In this
case it accepted it, but no "headlines" appear when I select the new feed.

Juice is designed to facilitate the download of MP3s carried by the RSS
feed - it would not be suitable for reading other RSS feeds.

Sharp Reader and Feed Reader are other free RSS aggregators although I
have no experience of either.

Hi,

I'm currently using Accessible RSS which I love for its interface and
speed/simplicity, but I'm finding quite a few feeds it doesn't recognise. I think this might be because it doesn't support atom but only RSS. (I want
to subscribe to the google blog, for example, and the URL of that is
googleblog.blogspot.com/atom.xml and when I pasted that into Accessible RSS
it said was invalid).

So I'm thinking I'd like to try something else. I know people get on well with Juice as a pod catcher - but do/can you use it for news items too? I guess you can, since it's RSS that's behind both of them, but nobody seems to mention news feeds when they mention Juice. Do any of you use Juice for
this?

If not, has anyone got any other suggestions?

Catherine
