- Go to <http://toronto.craigslist.org/>
- Enter your search term in the “search craigslist” box
- When you get the results, scroll to the bottom. There is a final paragraph that says “RSS (?)”. Copy the RSS link address (move the mouse pointer over the RSS link, right click, and select “Copy Shortcut”)
- Open an new window (Ctrl-N in IE)
- In the new window, go to <http://www.rssfwd.com/>
- Paste the link you copied from craigslist into the “Enter a feed to subscribe” box – the link should look something like <http://toronto.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=this%20that&format=rss>, and hit Subscribe
- Enter your e-mail address on the next page – before you hit Subscribe again, you might want to check the preview of the feed that’s shown on the page to see that it’s finding what you want. You probably want to keep the e-mail type as “Normal – Send each update as individual e-mails”, and uncheck the “Share at Popular Feeds” page
- You will get a confirmation e-mail – hit the confirm link, which will take you to a page you probably don’t need to understand
- rssfwd should mail you within a couple of hours of new items being posted. Each e-mail should have unsubscription information
rssfwd is dead. Substitute something like http://www.feedmyinbox.com/ and it should work.
