Read News and Blog Headlines from Your Screensaver

Jun 11, 2007 Linda Roeder

News Screensaver lets you add all your favorite news sites, blog feeds and anything else that uses RSS.

If you're like me, you like keeping up to date on what's going on in the world around you. You like reading certain blogs weekly, or daily , to find out what's going in certain topic areas that interest you. Using RSS, News Screensaver will make your blog and news reading easy. Just sit and watch the headlines go past.

With News Screensaver you can read the latest news, stock quotes, weather reports and blog entries from your favorite sites. Entering your own favorite news and blog feeds is a cinch.

Background: What's a News / Blog Reader?

A news / blog reader is software or a website that lets you add the RSS address of a news site or blog. You can then go to that news / blog reader and find all the latest news or blog entries all on one page. This takes a lot less time than going to each news or blog site individually.

What are the Features?

Here are some features you'll find on News Screensaver:

• 100 links to news feeds (paid version)
• Add your own news and blog feeds
• Updates automatically
• Beautiful nature backgrounds
• Large text for easy reading
• Temperature, date and time on the screen
• Press the F2 key on your keyboard at any time to read the whole story
• List of titles so you can see what's coming up

How Do I Add RSS Links to the Screensaver?

1. Go to your favorite news sites or the blogs you like reading. Look for the RSS symbol (pictured at the top of this article).
2. When you see the RSS symbol click on it, then click "Copy Link Location" or "Copy Shortcut" from the drop down menu.
3. Open the properties for the screensaver from the screensaver menu on your computer.
4. Click on "Settings" and go to the "Feeds" tab.
5. Click "Add Feed" and paste the RSS address into the bar.
6. Click "OK" and then "OK" again. That's it. Your favorites news and blog feeds are ready for you to read from your news screensaver.

How Do I Get This Screensaver?

The trial version is free. If you are interested in purchasing News Screensaver it will only cost $13.96. When you buy the paid version of the screensaver you'll no longer see the message on the screen asking you to buy it. You'll also be given links to over 100 news site feeds for you to choose from.
