SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I think Clash has the prettiest blog so far.

Quote from: Silverlion;632656If anyone can tell me how to set them up as feeds. I'd appreciate (a link is alright.)

(These instructions assume only basic familiarity with RSS. Adjust expectations as needed.)

RSS requires two things: A Reader program and an RSS Feed. The second can only be provided by the site — if they haven't set one up, you can't RSS it.

Google Reader, linked to by Piestrio, is a free online RSS Reader. It allows you to add feeds, organize them, update them, and so forth. It is also used as a de-facto syncing service for several other RSS programs. (It has the virtue of being accessible via any web browser. Unfortunately, it's being sidelined by Google and may be EOL'd some day.)

RSS Feeds all have a URL. You just have to find it (assuming the site has it, and it's discoverable).

I'll take your first linked blog, "Metal Earth". If we scroll way, way, way down to the bottom, we find "Subscribe to Posts (Atom)". That link is a RSS feed:

http://themetalearth.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

The vast majority of RSS programs will work like the following: There's a button marked "Add", "Subscribe", or something similar. When you click "Add", it'll ask you for the feed URL. Just paste in the link, click "OK", and the Reader should begin syncing the posts.

For iOS, I've found Reeder to be a great program for iPhone and iPad. It syncs with Google Reader, and has a nice, clean interface. (I do all my reading on the iPad, as phones have tiny little screens. Reeder is better on the iPad.)

I have no idea what programs are available for Android, so Piestrio's suggestions are probably a good starting point. In any case, you can access Google Reader via the built in Web Browser.

One way or the other, no matter what program you get (or even if you get none at all), you're probably going to end up at Google Reader: http://www.google.com/reader/

Good luck, and let me know if any of the above instructions are poorly written or just wrong. (I don't think so, but you never know.)
