An RSS feed is a way for you to be kept automatically informed whenever a website is updated. That way you don’t have to keep checking all of your favourite sites every day to see if anything has been added.

In order to use this feature, you will need what’s called an RSS reader (also known as a News Aggregator or News Reader) installed on your computer. These are available either as a standalone program or as a plug-in for your web browser or email client.

There are lots of RSS readers available, many of them are completely free.

If you use Firefox there are many different RSS reader extensions available freely.

If you use Internet Explorer, take a look at this list of IE compatible RSS readers.

These are not exhaustive lists, so try searching in Wikipedia, Google or other search engines to see what you find.
