What are RSS Feeds?

RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication, is an easy way to keep up with your favortie news and information. An RSS feed contains headlines and links to full news stories on our Web site. If you click an RSS link, you will see XML (or eXtensible Markup Language) code in your browser. This is to be expected since you do not view RSS content through a regular browser by itself. You view the headlines through an RSS news reader (also called an RSS aggregator). Some of these work with a Web browser you can browse RSS news feeds seamlessly.

How can I access RSS Feeds?

There are a number of ways to access RSS feeds. You can install a news reader that displays RSS feeds from the Web sites you select, enabling you to view hundreds of headlines at once. After installing the news reader, you can add each feed manually from the Web site by clicking on the "Subscribe" or the "XML" orange button next to the feed.

An alternative to downloading a dedicated news reader is to use a Web-based news reader. For example, My Yahoo! or My AOL users can now add RSS feeds directly to their personal page.

A wide range of RSS readers can be easily downloaded from the Web. Some readers are Web-based while others require you to download a small software program onto your desktop. Most are free to use. (Several readers require Microsoft's .NET framework on your computer. They may be slightly more complicated to install if you do not have .NET.)
