Topic: RSS feeds, newsreaders
Reviewer/email: Mike G – greers_pm@yahoo.com

Get an RSS reader and let your favorite blogs and websites automatically notify you when they post new articles! [This blog sends out a new RSS feed almost every day!] My Yahoo, My MSN and many other web “home pages” allow you to customize them with links (RSS feeds) to your favorite blogs, news sites, and other websites that you regularly visit. This way, the new items come to you as clickable headlines on one page, instead of your needing to visit each site separately. I’ve found some sites that will gently introduce you to RSS feeds and show you how to get started using them. (Continued in Comment.)
