  1. Go to <http:\/\/toronto.craigslist.org\/<\/a>><\/li>\n
  2. Enter your search term in the “search craigslist” box<\/li>\n
  3. 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”)<\/li>\n
  4. Open an new window (Ctrl-N in IE)<\/li>\n
  5. In the new window, go to <http:\/\/www.rssfwd.com\/<\/a>><\/li>\n
  6. 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<\/a>>, and hit Subscribe<\/em><\/li>\n
  7. Enter your e-mail address on the next page – before you hit Subscribe<\/em> 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<\/em> the “Share at Popular Feeds” page<\/li>\n
  8. 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<\/li>\n
  9. rssfwd should mail you within a couple of hours of new items being posted. Each e-mail should have unsubscription information<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
