A faithful servant
For many years I have relied on Feedly to deliver the blogs and websites I want to read to my iPad. It is a free valuable service, and I have folders of collected sites by genre.
Genealogy and DNA
Books
Tech
Libraries and Librarians
General interest
Food and Recipes
Sewing
History
It is simple to add a site to your feed, simply copy the URL of the site use the Follow Sources in Feedly and add the URL there.
During this last week an anomaly appeared in my Genealogy folder. The posts were in an Asian script and several were appearing each day - an unwanted invader. Perhaps a dormant genealogy blog had not revisited their space for a long time or a domain name I was following was taken over.
To Remove a Feed
Feeds can be removed in the app by holding down the name of the feed in the sidebar, then selecting Unfollow.
To remove when logged in on a web page, from the side bar, choose the three dot menu which reveals Unfollow.
Aaron’s blog was not the offending feed but is used here to illustrate how to Unfollow a feed.
Aaron has moved from Blogger to Substack you can find his Musings about Librarianship
https://substack.com/@aarontay and add his wisdom to your Feedly.
Back to reading now I've cleaned up my account.
