7.12.6 Reading News Feeds with Blam<br />

Blam is a tool that helps you keep track <strong>of</strong> the growing number <strong>of</strong> news feeds distributed<br />

as RSS. RSS provides news updates from a Web site in a simple form for your computer.<br />

You can read these files in a program called an aggregator, which collects news from<br />

various Web sites. Blam is a GNOME aggregator that lets you subscribe to any number<br />

<strong>of</strong> feeds and provides an easy-to-use interface to stay up to date. Blam can print news<br />

entries and automatically updates feeds at regular intervals.<br />

To open Blam, click Applications → Internet → RSS Reader → Blam Feed Reader.<br />

Channels appear in a list on the left <strong>of</strong> the Blam window. Click any channel then view<br />

the headlines in the top-right panel. Clicking a headline displays the article in the lowerright<br />

panel. To see the full article, scroll to the bottom <strong>of</strong> the lower-right panel and click<br />
