How to Follow News with Feedly

Tap through each step to see how to set up Feedly and start reading your favorite sites in one feed.

  1. Create a Feedly account

    Sign up for a free account on the Feedly website or app.

  2. Add sites and blogs you follow

    Search for the name or web address of a news site or blog you want to follow and add it as a source.

  3. Organize sources into folders

    Group your sources into folders by topic, such as "Tech" or "Business," to keep things tidy.

  4. Read new posts in one place

    Instead of visiting each site separately, open Feedly to see new posts from every source gathered in a single feed.

  5. Why it helps

    Rather than checking multiple sites individually, Feedly collects new posts in one place the moment they publish, so nothing important slips through.

When checking a dozen sites a day gets old

Instead of bookmarking a long list of sites and clicking through each one, an RSS reader like Feedly pulls every new post into a single, scrollable feed. That turns a scattered daily habit into one short check-in.

Getting more out of Feedly over time

Beyond basic folders, Feedly can highlight the most-shared or trending articles inside a topic, which is useful for skimming a busy category quickly. Muting keywords or noisy sources also helps keep a feed focused as the list of sources grows.
