What is an RSS Feed?
An RSS feed allows you to automatically pull information from selected Web sites and blogs into your personal Web page, called a Feed Reader or News Reader, or into your e-mail program such as Microsoft Outlook or your Internet browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
Feed Readers
Once you set up a Feed Reader, you will no longer have to navigate to your favorite Web sites to see what’s new; the items will flow right onto your page.
The first step to making use of an RSS Feed is to create your own personal Feed Reader. This is easy, and it is free. Many online services offer Feed Readers. Among our favorites are:
iGoogle
Google Reader
My Yahoo
Others
Once you have created your own Feed Reader, you can subscribe to RSS Feeds and create your own personalized collection of information. For example, you might want to pull information from weac.org, cnn.com, edweek.com, cooking,com, pets.com and espn.com, or from a thousand other sources.
There are several ways to add an RSS Feed to your Feed Reader page. One of the easiest ways is to copy the RSS source code, such as those below (for example, http://www.weac.org/weacnewsfeed.rss.ashx ), and paste them into a box on your Feed Reader. Most Feed Readers have a box that says: Add Feed or Add Subscription.
Adding RSS Feed to Outlook or Your Web Browser
In Microsoft Outlook (the process varies depending on your e-mail software), you will find a folder titled RSS Feeds on the left side of the page. Right click on the folder and click on "Add an RSS Feed" and copy the source code into the box. You can follow your feeds by opening the RSS Feed folder.
In Internet Explorer 7 (again, the process varies depending on your Web browser), look for the RSS icon - 
- on the right side of the tool bar at the top of the browser. If the icon turns orange when you navigate to a page, it means there is an RSS Feed available on that page. Click on the orange icon, and a yellow box will appear. Click "Subscribe to this feed" and "Subscribe." (This will add the feed to both Explorer and Outlook if you have Outlook open.) To view your feeds in Internet Explorer 7, click on the yellow star - 
- on the far left side of your tool bar.
