What are feeds and how do I use them?

A feed is a regularly updated summary of web content, along with links to full versions of that content. When you subscribe to a given website's feed by using a feed reader or your browser's RSS reader, you'll receive a summary of new content from that website. Important: you must use a feed reader in order to subscribe to website feeds. When you click on an RSS feed link (which looks like this ), your browser may display a page of unformatted gobbledygook. Currently with a lot of feed readers, you usually have to cut and paste the address of the feed (displayed in the URL box ) into the reader software. Some browsers have feed readers already built into them.
