Or perhaps do you want to establish a regular connection with your favorite drama site without separately resorting to them?

If this is the case, then you are certainly incorrect since bookmark is not the sagacious way out, as you may miss to check any bookmarked site or you may waste your time ending up seeing no latest stuff on sites, and the list of its cons is quite exhaustive ahead.
Therefore, the pragmatic solution to this plight is RSS feed. Rich Site Summary (RSS), which brings you the latest and unique information from your favorite sites without resorting to each one separately. Whenever a website is updated, RSS feed lets you know about it and this way you can read your desired matter without rushing hither and thither.
As you are sufficiently familiar with RSS feed by now, it is therefore imperative to learn about its reader. As every car needs an engine, similarly RSS feed needs a reader. There are a myriad of feed readers rotating around in the market, but the easy and free ones for amateurs to commence with are Bloglines and GoogleReader. They are similar to e-mail format. Unread feeds are marked bold and once you have peeped through a particular feed, it can be marked as ‘read’ and you can move ahead for the next unread piece.Subscribing to a feed:On site subscription
