How do I subscribe to an RSS feed

To follow RSS feeds of your choosing you will need to subscribe to the RSS feed.

To do this, you must use an RSS reader (or aggregator).

We recommend that you use Feedly to do this (you will need a Google account).  Feedly is a great reader because it runs in any browser on your desktop, as well as on any devices running either Android or iOS. If you use a Blackberry, then you can use Feedly through the browser.

To set up your Feedly, follow these steps:

1. Go to Feedly.com
2. Sign in with your Google account (if you don't have a Google account, set one up).
3. Click on the "Add Content" link in the upper left corner of the screen
4. Go to the the website of the that you wish to follow and open it your browser, then copy the URL in the web address bar at the top of the page.
5. Go back to Feedly and add the URL that you have copied into the text entry box that appears when you click on "Add Content"
6. Check a folder (or create a specific folder for the topic of this rss feed) and click "Add"
   
7. Any new updates to this source of information will then automatically appear on your Feedly page.  Do this for each of the sources of information that you wish to follow.

N.B. If you don't have a gmail address and don't wish to set one up we recommend that you use Netvibes.
