If you're thinking "what the hell is a Feed Reader?" read on...

If you're new to Feeds and Feed Readers, and want a little explanation, read on...

'Feeds' are the content of websites. They can include words, text, audio or video. Feeds are in RSS (Really Simple Syndication) format to make it as simple as possible to distribute the content.

'Feed Readers' are applications that gather the Feeds of blogs and other news sites into one place. You decide the Feeds that go into your Reader, and there are thousands out there. The huge benefit of a Feed Reader is that you can read the latest news you're really interested in from one place, without having to hunt through a dozen or more bookmarked sites.

Some Readers work through your internet browser, others are downloadable applications.

As well as this Blog, you’ll find Feeds available on other blogs and major news websites. In fact wherever you see the Feed logo (the dot and two curves at the top of this post) there will be a Feed you can add to your Feed Reader.

How do I get hold of a Feed Reader?

Your internet browser may already have a built-in Feed Reader (later versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Safari do). Look for the Feed logo in your browser and click on it. You should get the option to add this blog's RSS feed to your built in reader.
