What are News Feeds?
News feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest headlines as soon as they are published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.

Feeds are generally known as RSS ('Really Simple Syndication') which are just web pages, designed to be read by computers rather than people.

How do I start using feeds?
You will need one of the following to read RSS feeds:

Modern web browser
Most modern browsers, including Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome allow you to add RSS feeds as a browser favourite or bookmark folder, automatically updating them with the latest content.

Web-based news reader
Web-based news readers check feeds and displays any new articles that have been added. They let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, making this option useful if you want to access the feeds from multiple computers or devices.

Desktop news reader
Some email software allows you to read RSS feeds. In addition, there is dedicated news reader software available that you can download and install on your computer.

How do I get a news reader?
There are a range of different news readers available and new versions are appearing all the time. Different news readers work on different operating systems, so you will need to choose one that will work with your computer.

Once you have chosen a news reader, you click on the orange RSS button and you can subscribe to the feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL of the feed into your news reader or by cutting and pasting the same URL into a new feed in your news reader.
