What is this?
The Icon represents our RSS Feed. This is
from the new Internet Explorer 7's help document:
What is a feed (RSS)?
Feeds, also known as RSS feeds, XML feeds, syndicated content, or web
feeds, contain frequently updated content published by a website. They
are usually used for news and blog websites, but are also used for
distributing other types of digital content, including pictures, audio
files, or video. Internet Explorer can discover and display feeds as you
visit websites. You can also subscribe to feeds to automatically check
for and download updates that you can view later.
Discover a feed
Internet Explorer looks for feeds, also known as RSS feeds, on every
webpage you visit. When it finds available feeds, the Feeds button ,
located on the Internet Explorer toolbar, will change from gray to
orange and it will play a sound.
To view available feeds
On the Internet Explorer toolbar, click the Feeds button .
If multiple feeds are available, you'll see a list of available feeds.
Select the feed you want to view.
When you click the feed, you'll see a page displaying a list of items
(topics and articles) you can read and subscribe to.
How do I view a feed?
When you visit a webpage, the Feeds button will change color, letting
you know that feeds are available. Click the Feeds button, and then
click the feed you want to see. To get content automatically, you should
subscribe to a feed.
How does a feed differ from a website?
A feed can have the same content as a webpage, but it's often formatted
differently. When you subscribe, Internet Explorer automatically checks
the website and downloads new content so you can see what is new since
you last visited the feed.
Does a feed subscription cost money?
No, it's usually free to subscribe to a feed.
