Basically, all it does
is tell you what's new on this site without you even moving from
your Homepage. To get these feeds, you need something which supports
them
You can use
a program on your computer to receive RSS feeds, and it shows you
information which is in the feed. Examples of RSS readers are:
RSS
Reader
Sharpreader
If you use Firefox
1.5 or higher, Netscape
or Opera, your browser comes
with an in-built RSS reader.
If you use Internet
Explorer, it's the only one that doesn't support RSS, and, well,
frankly, you're using a crap browser. Get
Firefox!
Some websites let you
have your own RSS feeds sent straight to the page. You can have
a huge bunch of them on the page - everything you could ever want
in one place!
Pages which support RSS feeds usually
need a login. Most people have a .net Passport, as this signs them
into MSN messenger and hotmail, and this works for the top two.
Sites at which you can view RSS feeds are:
www.live.com
- Requires .net Passport
www.start.com
- Requires .net Passport
www.google.com/ig
- Requires Google Account
Even if it's not just
for this site's feeds, these pages are well worth having; they can
hold many useful features such as your email inbox, clocks, remote
bookmarks, and of course, more RSS feeds! It's useful to have these
set as your homepage so that you can see what you need at a glance.
At the moment, the feed
is only supported on the Google homepage, basically because I can't
work out the code for Live.com. Anyone who has know-how, let
me know how the hell I do it using this
