Finding RSS feeds

One you have a feed reader up and running, you'll want to subscribe to RSS feeds that support your favorite topics. You can search for them with Google, by using the "inurl" or "filetype" search modifiers. Example searches could include:
 inurl:rss security
 filetype:rss linux
 inurl:xml asterisk
 filetype:atom sphinx search
Note that there are multiple feed formats (rss, atom, xml, etc.) so it's recommended that you experiment with the search parameters.

- 18 Things You'll Understand If You Went To High School In A Small Town - #8 is bs 'cause it assumes a certain level of traffic. #13 - if you had to look up FFA, you didn't grow up in a small town. #14 - If you had a DQ, (again) you didn't grow up in a small town. We had Tastee Freez and it was in the next town over. #16 - the rodeo was for the townees. Farmers already have horses, cattle, etc. We showed them off at the county fair (4-H/FFA, remember?). #18 - I'm hoping the cool girls still know how to saddle a horse.
