Feeds
What are feeds?
Feeds are handy ways of getting news delivered to you without having to visit the websites that publish it. They are summaries of the latest news that you can read with the help of a program called a feed reader.
What is a feed reader?
Feed readers, or "aggregators," are either programs you can download or online services that you can use to collect feeds from your favorite websites.
How do I use feeds?
On many websites, links to feeds can be a few words like on this website, or small orange buttons with symbol or letters on them like this: 
Clicking any one of these will take you to a feed. Most browsers such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, and Netscape can act as feed readers. They will each show instructions on subscribing to feeds when you click links to them. To add a feed to a feed reader, copy its web address and follow the instructions included with the feed reader to add it. The feed reader will read the web address and download the news. It will even keep track of which ones you've read so you don't have to think about it!
