Hi ya
What is RSS?
RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing
web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online
publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.
Why RSS? Benefits and Reasons for using RSS
RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows
you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the
sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit
each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to
join each site's email newsletter. The number of sites offering RSS
feeds is growing rapidly and includes big names like Yahoo News.
What do I need to do to read an RSS Feed?
Feed Reader or News Aggregator software allow you to grab the RSS
feeds from various sites and display them for you to read and use.
A variety of RSS Readers are available for different platforms. Some
popular feed readers include Amphetadesk (Windows, Linux, Mac),
FeedReader(Windows), and NewsGator (Windows - integrates with
Outlook). There are also a number of web-based feed readers available.
My Yahoo, Bloglines, and Google Reader are popular web-based feed
readers.
Once you have your Feed Reader, it is a matter of finding sites that
syndicate content and adding their RSS feed to the list of feeds your
Feed Reader checks. Many sites display a small icon with the acronyms
RSS, XML, or RDF to let you know a feed is available.

Hi,
To illustrate using RSS in Firefox, I will take the example of The
Hindu.
1. Once on the website www.thehindu.com, look for the link “RSS Fe
eds”. For convenience, you can use the links list dialog box. This
is the RSS Feeds page for The Hindu:
http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/rss/index.htm.
2. There are a bunch of feeds on this page corresponding to
different sections of the newspaper. If you wish to subscribe to
all, you would have to manually subscribe to each one of them. So,
to start, press enter on the first one, which is the News Update.
3. To add the feed of News Updates as a Live Bookmark, select Live
Bookmarks from Subscribe to this feed combo box. Then, press the
Subscribe Now button.
4. Make your selections in the Live Bookmarks dialog box, which is
similar to the regular Bookmarks dialog.
5. Now to view the feed items, go to the location you selected in
the previous dialog box, the default one is under the Bookmarks
Toolbar. It would be the last item in the sub menu opened by
pressing the Right arrow, and if you haven’t changed the named it
will be labeled as “The Hindu – News Updates”.
6. You can Right arrow again to open this sub menu and press enter
on each feed headline to reach the page with the news content.
7. A better way is to use the Open All in Tabs option that is
always located at the bottom of every Bookmarks sub menu. All your
feed items will be opened as tabs in the same window. You can read
each page and then press CTRL+W to close the tab and automatically
go to the next one.
Regards

Actually the problem is in reading
the news paper, since when we exit after reading any llink,
the focus is shifted to the top of the page, rather remain
to the visited link and have to arrow down to the next
link,which consumes a lot of time. In the webb IE,
this problem was not there and the time could be saved.
