How to subscribe to a blog using RSS
* Learn more about RSS feeds, and watch a video tutorial

What do I need to use RSS?
In order to receive RSS feeds, you need an RSS reader (The new Internet Explorer 7 has an RSS  reader built-in, but there are also other options, such as NewsFox for the Firefox browser).  Subscribe to the blog or website from which you want to receive content, and the information will be delivered automatically to your RSS reader.

To subscribe to a LourdesWorld blog using Internet Explorer 7:
  1. Make sure you're using Internet Explorer 7.  If not, you can download it here.
  2. Go to the LourdesWorld Blog Center.
  3. Look at the menu on the left (under Categories).  Next to each category and each individual blog is a blue icon.  These icons indicate that you can subscribe to an RSS feed.


  4. Click on the icon next to the category or blog for which you'd like to subscribe.  You should see a screen that looks like this:


  5. Click the link at the bottom of the yellow box that reads "Subscribe to this feed." A dialog box will appear.  If you're new to RSS feeds, just click "Subscribe."  Or you can customize your feed title and location.
  6. To check your RSS feed, open your Favorites.
  7. At the top of the Favorites panel, there should be a "Feeds" tab. Select it to view the most recent headlines for each feed.
