Help with RSS Feeds
What is this feed thing everyone is talking about?
It’s a standardized format that lets you subscribe to a web site using a tool called a news reader or aggregator.
The orange XML and RSS buttons let you locate feeds in one quick glance.
Why should I care about feeds?
The reasons you should care about feeds are:
- You want to be notified of updates from the many web sites that you read without visiting them one by one
- You prefer to read your favorite web sites from one convenient location without any interface clutter
How do I subscribe to a feed?
It’s simple. Log into MyMSN,
MyYahoo!,
Google Reader or
MyAOL and click the relevant button:
 for MSN for Yahoo! for Google for AOL
The benefit of using these services is two-fold:
- A web-based service means your favorite feeds will remain available when you change computers
- Search engines (will) provide tools to organize feeds by topic and relevance rather than by site and date
You can also read news feeds from desktop news readers:
