Getting started

Some web browsers, such as Firefox v2.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, have an RSS feed reader built within them. If your browser doesn't have this functionality, you will need to download a feed reader (also known as an RSS aggregator).

There are many RSS feed readers available and some are available as a free download. You will find a list of RSS feed readers at RSS Info or DMOZ Open Directory Project. Choose one that suits your computer system and has the features you think you will require.

Once you have installed your RSS reader, you can configure it to tell you when new updates appear and update you at regular intervals (for example, hourly or daily). Most RSS readers will come with pre-installed feeds which you might choose to remove when you are installing the program or at a later date. You can delete and add feeds at any time.

Most RSS readers have an 'Add new feed' function. To add an RSS feed, you need to paste the URL of the feed into your feed reader.
