How can I get an RSS feed from Craigslist????


I'd like to setup a simple RSS feed on Craigslist for a
particular piece of equipment. When it is finally
offered for sale, I would get an email. Easy.


This should be simple enough. However, I keep searching,
and searching and searching. But I still have not found out
just exactly HOW do I get an RSS feed from Craigslist.

I get lots and lots of definitions as to what an RSS
feed is. But nothing on how to set it up.


Do I need an account? From which website?
Do I need special software? Which one?


Could someone be so kind as to lay out the exact
steps to do this?


Thanks a lot!

a) Not really sure what this has to do with Outlook.
b) Open up craigslist, do your search, click on the RSS link down at the
bottom and add the feed to whatever reader you prefer.

Now why can't they provide such a simple "how to" ?????


So, to make this scenario work, you need a combination of the
website (craigslist) and an email account.

Not true. You can subscribe using a standalone RSS reader which doesn't
need an email account.

You can subscribe to RSS in Outlook 2007 and an email acct is not required,
just an RSS reader (RSS is not email).
