I would like to subscribe to some blogs, it means not only a post, for example, Haiku for project managers.

I've checked in my account, subscriptions, also at the blog level, but I only found, "Notify me via email when someone comments on this posting", but this is a post level.

Is there any way to subscribe to all blog?

I would love to receive notifications when some of my favourites blogs add a publication.

I haven't tried it myself, Maria, but it looks like you should be able to subscribe to a RSS feed. Hopefully, others have done it and can help you out. I certainly would like to know as I also would like to subscribe to a few blogs.

Maria, yes, you can subscribe to the rss feed. Copy the rss URL and add it to your favorite rss feed aggregator, or use a browser extension to keep track. I use feedly and fedora (windows 10 app)

I decided to do it in Outlook. It's pretty straightforward:
1. Make sure you have a RSS feeds folder in your account. (If you don't go to Account Settings to add the first feed(,
2, Go to the blog that interests you. Copy the RSS link on the left side of the blog page.
3. Right click on your RSS feeds folder and select Add a New RSS Feed Folder.
4. Paste the link.

I chose to not download the full blog posts as attachment. I would rather go to the site so I can rate it and add comment as necessary.

I would add https://www.projectmanagement.com/blogs/ to favorite bar, and click once to find new updates

This is very interesting. i am not very familiar with the RSS Feeds thing. I know that for each discussion or blog threads, you can subscribe for each one individually by checking: "Subscribe for this thread".

I never used RSS before. I will try it soon but if someone can ellaborate more on how exactly and what is the benefits, that would be great. I read online but not sure I fully understood and when I checked one of the b,ogs here, I pressed on RSS but it gave me blank page.

Hi Rami,

It could be your browser. When you click on the RSS link, you should see a page with plain text. The URL would end in index.rss - for example, https://www.projectmanagement.com/blogs/35...nager/index.rss

Copy that link and use it to add the blog to your chosen RSS reader; such as feedly, fedora (windows 10 app), or as Stephane suggested, Outlook. From one of those aggregator's, choose to add a new RSS feed, and paste the link into the field. Even most browsers have add-ons to collect RSS feeds.

The benefit is centralizing your favorite blogs, websites, etc. into a single place to easily see updated content and simplify your reading. Also easier to keep up! Most sites have an RSS options. Since mainly we visit sites to read articles, why not bring the articles directly to you, in one application!

Have Fun!

The idea is for your favourite blogs to be automatically sent to you, Rami. The RSS link you clicked is meant to be copied into an RSS feed aggregator, not clicked.
