To subscribe to a news feed, right click one of the link below and select "Copy Shortcut" in Internet Explorer or "Copy Link Location" in Firefox. All news readers are a little different but look for an option that says "Add Feed" or "Import". In the resulting form, paste the copied link in the input field and save.
RSS or Rich Site Syndication (also 'Really Simple Syndication) feeds are free content feeds from websites that contain headlines, summaries and links to the full page on the website.
Special news readers, called "RSS Readers" or "RSS Aggregators" are required for you to be able to use RSS feeds. Options for news readers are varied and include stand-alone applications, plug-ins for Firefox and Outlook, built-in applications (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari), and web-based services.
RSS is an easy way to gather a wide variety of content in one place on your computer. Rather than having to visit many websites to find out if there is new content, the RSS aggregator shows it all to you in one screen. Many RSS readers also 'alert' you when new content from your favorite website is delivered. RSS also has the potential for replacing email lists.
