Auto Discovery while browsing in Active Web Reader

Active Web Reader performs Auto Discovery in the background while you browse web pages in its integrated browser.  It then automatically presents you a list of all auto-discovered feeds.  Whenever Active Web Reader discovers a feed, it displays the Auto-Discovery Icon i.e.  in the status bar along with the message "Feeds Auto Discovered.  Click here to view". You can click on the icon to view list of all auto-discovered feeds.  Later on, you can select the feeds (and add them in feed list), clear or block them.

Auto Discovery while adding a new feed

Active Web Reader's Auto Discovery enables you to add new feeds while add a new feed.  This feature automatically discovers all feeds present in the web page and lists them for you to add.

2. In the New Feed dialog, enter the URL of the web page that contains one or more feed URL's.

5. Select all the feeds that you want to add and click Add.
6. In the Add to Folder dialog, select the folder where you want to add the feed and click OK.  If you click OK without selecting a folder, the feed is added to the root folder.  You may later drag and drop the feed from the root folder to the folder of your choice.
