What the hell is that?

Google Definition

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

RSS Readers

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

Web Browser

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!

Customisable Web Pages

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 information
