How do you subscribe to a Cross & Stitch RSS feed?

Subscribing to a Cross & Stitch RSS feed is quick and easy. How you subscribe will depend on whether you are an individual user looking to keep up to date with the latest information, or a website owner wanting to use Cross & Stitch content on your site.

RSS feeds for individual users

Individual users wanting to subscribe to a Cross & Stitch RSS feed will first of all need to get a news reader.

News readers

A news reader is a piece of software that checks the RSS feeds you have subscribed to and lets you read any new articles that have been published.

There are lots of different types of news readers. Some are web based which you can access from any computer, while others are downloaded and can only be used on the computer you downloaded them on to.

Subscribing to a Cross & Stitch RSS feed

Once you have chosen a news reader, you need to decide which Cross & Stitch RSS feeds you want to receive. You can see a list of all Cross & Stitch RSS feeds on the RSS library page.

Next to each Cross & Stitch RSS feed is an orange icon. To subscribe to a Cross & Stitch RSS feed either:
