How does NewsBlur know whether I like or dislike a story?
</li>
<li class="NB-faq-answer">
Our favorite thing about NewsBlur is that you can teach it your preferences every time you read a story. When you like or dislike something you read, you can click the button at the bottom that says “Train This Story.” You’ll be presented with a whole list of characteristics about the story, including the author, the title, any tags, the blog from which it comes, and the person who shared it. Everything defaults to yellow, which is neutral—you neither like or dislike it.</li>

But if there’s an author on a blog you particularly like, or a particular category you want to know more about, you can use the thumbs-up button to mark it green. The same goes for authors, categories, and even whole blogs that don’t really strike your fancy.

What's the point of training your feed?

<li class="NB-faq-answer">
The more you train NewsBlur, the more able it is to dish up stories that suit your interests. So if you read a blog that covers both politics and sports, but you only like politics, or a blog where you love Author A’s work but not Author B or Author C’s, NewsBlur will only give you stories about politics and stories by Author A. That means less stuff to sort through, and more time playing with random dogs you pass while walking down the street.

<li class="NB-faq-question">
Why doesn't NewsBlur use other user's training on my stories?
</li>
<li class="NB-faq-answer">
Training is completely personal, otherwise we get trapped in a popularity bubble. That's fine for people who want the same thing as everybody else, but NewsBlur is built for those power users who want fuller control. And since you know why a story is shown or not, you can refine the training with ease.
