To use a site's RSS feature, an RSS reader is required.

1. Choose an RSS reader. An internet search will return many options.

• Some readers are web-based, such as Google Reader and Bloglines. Web-based readers require no software installation and are accessible from any computer that has Internet access.
• Other readers are downloadable applications.
• Some browsers, including Internet Explorer 7, Firefox and Safari, automatically pick up RSS feeds for you.

2. Once you've chosen an RSS reader, follow the instructions to download, install, and open the reader.

3. Decide what type of content you want the RSS reader to monitor.

• Many web sites provide RSS, which can usually be found on those sites as a link. An orange or button is often used to display the service's availability.
• Typically the RSS feed is automatically added to the RSS reader and updates are sent every time new content is available.
• Alternatively, you may have to right-click the RSS link and copy the URL into your RSS reader.
