First of all you’ll might be asking yourself what are RSS Feeds? What is RSS? Well here are some brief explanations:

RSS (an acronym for “Rich Site Summary” and later coined “Really Simple Syndication”) is a way for web sites to summarize their content, such as news articles, to make it available in a different view.

And more towards Firefox RSS Feeds:

Live Bookmarks is a new technology in Firefox that lets you view RSS news and blog headlines in the bookmarks toolbar or bookmarks menu. With one glance, quickly see the latest headlines from your favorite sites. Go directly to the articles that interest you—saving you time.

A site is enabled for Live Bookmarks when you see this icon on the bottom right corner of the browser. Clicking on the icon and selecting an RSS feed will bring up the Add Bookmark dialog. Select ‘OK’ and you will see Live Bookmarks with the rest of your bookmarks. Many people find it especially convenient to save Live Bookmarks in their Bookmarks Toolbar folder.

So now that that is out of the way lets find out how to add RSS Feeds for nokitel.co.uk to your Firefox.

Step 1 - Simply head over to the Firefox homepage http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ and get yourself a copy of Firefox. Install it and then go over to http://nokitel.co.uk.

Step 2 - Once on http://nokitel.co.uk if you look in the bottom right corner you will see an orange icon , by clicking on that you will get a pop-up menu which will ask you to select what RSS version you would want to subscribe to. Just click the RSS 2.0 one will do.

Stem 3 - Another window will pop-up telling you that the http://nokitel.co.uk website will be added to your Bookmarks with the name of the website and under what folder. You can change those if you wish, but default is better.

Step 4 - Next is to go to View >> Sidebar >> Bookmarks or you can just simply press CTRL+B and on the left hand side you should see a bar.

Step 5 - Now you can see the sidebar where by clicking on the address of nokitel.co.uk you will see a list of all of the latest ten posts that have been made. And that will be updated every time a new posts is made.
