How do I set up a feed reader?

You'll need to set up an RSS reader to pull in the information you wish to track. You can use Internet Explorer or Firefox to  add feeds to your favorites. 

Another option is to set up an account in  Bloglines to collect, organize, and display all of your feeds.

 

When you see these RSS, XML or ATOM Feed icons on your favorite websites, click on them to add the feed to your feed reader.
