The first thing you need is something called a news reader or a feed reader. This is a piece of software that checks RSS feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added to them. There are many different versions: some are accessed using a browser, and some are downloadable applications.
Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want to receive by finding and subscribing to the relevant RSS feeds. So if you would like the popux newsfeed, you will notice an orange RSS button on our news or homepage.
If you click on the button you can subscribe to the feed in various ways, including dragging the URL of the RSS feed into your news reader, dragging the button icon into your reader, or by cutting and pasting the same URL into a new feed in your news reader.
Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, automatically check RSS feeds for you when you visit a website, and display an icon when they find one. This can make subscribing to RSS feeds much easier.
There is a range of different news readers available (desktop-based and web hosted) and new versions are appearing all the time. Different news readers work on different operating systems, so you will need to choose one that will work with your computer. As a matter of suggestion, we recommend Google Reader.
