Did you know you can subscribe to your favorite blogs and websites using RSS?

What’s RSS, you ask? RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication; it’s a “web feed” format used to publish frequently updated content (like blog entries, news headlines, or podcasts). The feed is syndicated (published), and readers can subscribe (or bookmark). You can tell that a website has an RSS feed if there is a feed indicator in the address bar of your web browser or if the site advertises a feed (like the links at the bottom of the TechNotes homepage).

Find your favorite browser below:

Firefox 2 (OS X and Windows)

Firefox Support: Live Bookmarks

Safari 2 (OS X) and 3 Public Beta (OS X and Windows)

You can also read RSS feeds in a feed reader or online on sites like Google Reader and My Yahoo! For a comprehensive list of RSS readers, visit the The Ultimate RSS Toolbox – 120+ RSS Resources.
