Feeds page

The Feeds page shows specific information about all feeds in winnowTag. It’s where you can add any feeds from blogs and websites.

Each feed in winnowTag is listed on the Feeds page, with links and information, see example:

Feed icon. Click to open a new window to the URL used by winnowTag to read the feed.

Home icon. Click to open a new window to the feed’s home page.

Feed title. Click the blue feed title link to view all items from that feed currently in winnowTag. The Items page opens, and a notice appears in the top bar telling you that you’re viewing only items from that particular feed. (To return to seeing all items in winnowTag, click the “Cancel” button inside the notice.)

Block. Check the “Block” checkbox to prevent that feed’s items from appearing on your Items page. You may want to block a feed if it contains information you never want to see (e.g. spam, obscene), or that you just aren’t interested in and is polluting the lists of items found by your tags. On the Feeds page, blocked feeds are pink. At any time you can uncheck the “Block” checkbox, permitting the feed’s items to appear on your Items page. Warning: if you block a feed that occasionally has items you’d like to see, you will be blocking all those items as well. Therefore it may be better to create a tag using example items of material you don’t want to see, and then block that tag. See Help: My Tags info for a discussion of blocking tags.

Items shows the number of items from the feed currently in winnowTag.

Added shows the date the feed was added to winnowTag.
