What tools do I need to use RSS?
To start using RSS, you need a special news reader or “aggregator” that displays RSS content feeds from Web sites you select. There are many different news readers available, often free of charge. While some are available as desktop software that you download and install on your computer, we recommend you consider using a Web-based news reader.
Web-based news readers:
- Bloglines (http://www.bloglines.com/)
- Google Reader (https://www.google.com/reader/)
- Many more readers (http://allrss.com/rssreaderswebbased.html)
When you find an RSS feed that interests you, click on the RSS link to obtain the RSS URL, which you will see in the "Address" field of your browser. Copy this URL and follow the instructions for your particular news reader to subscribe.
