Well, almost everyone has heard about RSS, but what is that all really about? To put it really so simply across, it is just a simple way to stay updated with your friends' blogs, news site, and all sites that support RSS. The good thing about a reader is that it allows all your subscriptions to be updated all at one place, without you having to click on every individual friend's blog just to check what's new.

Let me help you to set up a simple RSS reader

First, get a RSS client. A good and free reader is Google's RSS reader. Have an account set up for simple access to Google's services.

On the main page



1. Click on Add subscription, and an textbox will appear.



2. For website that supports RSS, normally you'd be able to find the RSS icon, especially blogs. Try looking for it at the address menu.



3. Click on the icon, and a xml address will appear, and this is the address to add to 1.

4. Voila!



For Firefox and Safari users, this is simplified as the reader is inbuilt to your browser. Why don't you consider downloading them just to try this out? I've got a link by the side for Firefox by the way.

Folks, an easier way is to download Safari from Apple, works for both Mac and Windows. Just click on the RSS icon at the right hand side of the URL, click on "+" icon to the left, and you'd be auto subscribed. Simple as that!
