How to Subscribe to an RSS Feed

RSS feeds may be set up by clicking on the RSS icon on the Firefox browser, or by subscribing to a new aggregator, or Reader.

How to Subscribe to an RSS Feed

RSS Icon

There are many free software products available that allow you to place a News Aggregator, or Reader, on your computer. For information on how to do this, go to: http://www.rss-specifications.com/browser-based-rss.htm.

You may also link to RSS feeds through your browser: http://www.newfangled.com/browser_based_rss_readers.

My preference has been to use the Reader offered by Google. The advantages of subscribing to this online service is that your RSS feeds may be accessed from any computer that is connected to the internet. Because the RSS software resides with Google, it doesn't take up disk space on your computer.
