What is RSS?
If you’re still worried about SPAM in your inbox, learn how RSS feeds give you back all the control over the content you receive from publishers.RSS feeds give you complete control and freedom, and you can control it at every step.
Your don't need to use your email address or reveal it, you can subscribe and unsubscribe from RSS any time you want .You might have figured that much out by now. But basically, that’s the essence of an RSS feed – you subscribe and then receive new content automatically in your feed reader.
RSS is a technology that is being used by millions of web users around the world to keep track of their favorite websites. In the ‘old days’ of the web to keep track of updates on a website you had to ‘bookmark’ websites in your browser and manually return to them on a regular basis to see what had been added.
How to Use RSS
Get an RSS Reader – The first thing you’ll want to do if you’re getting into reading sites via RSS is to hook yourself up with an RSS Feed Reader.
There are ma
ny feed readers going around with a variety of approaches and features – however a good place to start is with a couple of free and easy to use web based ones like Google Reader and Bloglines. Either one will do if you’re starting out (I use Google’s Reader) – as I say there are many others to choose from but to get started either of these are fairly easy to use and will help you work out the basics of RSS.
Both of these feed readers work a little like email. As you subscribe to feeds you’ll see that unread entries from the sites you’re tracking will be marked as bold. As you click on them you’ll see the latest update and can read it right there in the feed reader. You are given the option to click through to the actual site or move onto the next unread item – marking the last one as ‘read’.
If you use the Firefox browser, you can also receive RSS feeds from your tool bar by using the Live Bookmarks function. The latest version of Internet Explorer will support this feature as well.Finally, there are desktop-based feed readers. These function somewhat like an email program for feeds. Examples include Newsgator and Feed Demon.
If it sounds complicated, it’s really not. And things will get even easier when the next version of Outlook integrates feed-reading capabilities. So, you’ll have the same convenience that email subscriptions offered in the old days, without any of the terrible consequences of giving out your email address to potentially unscrupulous characters.
Sounds good. So how do I subscribe to a Feed?
First of all, look for the subscription or feed options ,You might see a variety of buttons (amusingly called chicklets).the Big orange button , 
this is a standard RSS button and you see it in your browsers address bar too ,you can subscribe on the site or in a browser .you can see a lot of different type of buttons or links , you can click any of this buttons and subscribe to my blog.
