RSS, short for Really Simple Syndication, is a data format that provides publishers with a new way of distributing content.
You choose which feeds you would like to display by adding them to your reader/service (see below for further details).

To view an RSS feed, you will need access to a reader (or aggregator) that allows the collection and display of RSS content (see table at right).
RSS readers can be installed as standalone applications on your computer; alternatively, feeds can be collected and accessed thru a web-based service such as Bloglines.
Many readers are available free of charge.

Follow the instructions for your particular news reader and paste this text wherever the location of the service you've signed up for is requested.
