What is an RSS reader?
RSS news readers are software programs similar to Web browsers that aggregate RSS feeds and display their information. They allow you to read multiple sources from a single interface.
There are a wide variety of RSS readers available on the Internet. Some readers are Web-based while others require you install a software program on your computer. Some are free to use.

How do I use these feeds?
The first step is to choose an RSS reader. Each reader has a slightly different way of adding a new feed (also called a "channel"). In most cases, you would click on Add, Subscribe or Add New Channel in your reader. You can click on a feed from the list above and copy the URL of the page into your RSS reader. The RSS feed will start to display and regularly update the headlines for you.
