To use RSS, you'll need to use a news reader — a program that provides a real-time interface to the feeds you select. News readers come in all sizes and shapes. Many are Web-based; some send headlines to your e-mail or cell phone. Two examples are Google Homepages and My Yahoo, but Chelsey Minx's RSS feeds should work with any reader using the standard XML-based format.

Ready to get started?

Pick a feed by scrolling down and browsing the links on this page, or choose one of the links at the top right of this page to narrow down your options. If your news reader is one of the four we offer one-click access to, simply click on the appropriate icon and you're done!

If you don't see the name of your service, right-click on the orange "XML" button and select "copy shortcut" or "copy link location." (Using a Mac? Click and hold or control-click instead of right-clicking.) Go to your news reader of choice, paste the link into the relevant spot and you're set.
