Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7 browser has built-in support for RSS feeds. If you regularly visit news sites and blogs, you’ll appreciate IE’s new RSS feed reader. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, the method used to subscribe to sites that regularly post new items and information.
While viewing such a site, look for the orange RSS icon in the toolbar and click it. You’ll see a preview of the site’s feed and an option to subscribe.
To access your subscriptions, press Ctrl-Shift-J to open IE’s Favorites Center; click a feed to see the latest posts from that site.
