How do I use RSS

In order to subscribe to an RSS feed the first thing you will need is an RSS Newsreader. These readers come in several types:


Software Newsreaders
There are several installed software packages that allow you to aggregate and read RSS feeds. These are usually downloaded and setup on your computer like any other software. You can find a list of popular newsreader software here.

Web-based Newsreaders
There are a few websites that also offer newsreader functionality similar to what you can find in the newsreader software. These are available from any computer and usually only require registration to use them. You can find a list of popular web-based newsreaders here.

Personalized (My) Pages
RSS feeds can also be added to most of the personalized pages out there, like My Yahoo!, MyMSN, MyAOL, etc. If you have an account with one of these sites, you will be able to add RSS feeds to your personalized pages.
