RSS Feeds
Please could someone explain to me how to use them? Like some websites have RSS Feeds but I don't understand how they work and how I can use them.
Any help?
Thanks!

If your browser supports RSS, clicking on the RSS icon will add an entry to your bookmarks list which updates with changes to the page. Every time the RSS'd page changes, the entry in your bookmark will reflect the change. This is very useful for tracking every update to news sites, webcomics, and forums. A site must make an RSS feed available for you to use it; not every site supports it, and most sites only support it for the main section of their site.
To try RSS, go here:

Click the RSS icon in your browser. It might give you a choice between RSS and Atom - choose RSS. Then click "Subscribe to this feed" or "Subscribe now". It will give you a similar dialog box to the one you get when saving a bookmark; save it like you normally would.
To view the RSS feed, go to your bookmarks. In Firefox there will be a folder containing every recent change to the Wikipedia RSS article. In Internet Explorer there will be a separate section called "feeds". Click this and select the "recent changes" feed. It will show a detailed page of all recent changes to the Wikipedia RSS article. Other browsers work similarly, there is always a close connection between bookmarks and RSS feeds.
RSS is relatively new, so if you're using Internet Explorer 6 or another old browser you will not be able to easily use it. Upgrade or switch to a better browser.
