How can I use RSS?
There are several ways to access RSS feeds. You can (1) install an RSS news reader that displays RSS feeds from the web sites you select, (2) incorporate Citadel news directly into your own blog, or (3) any other purpose (so long as it meets our terms of use; see below). Here we will focus on RSS news readers. An RSS news reader serves as an information portal, and provides a real-time interface to the feeds you select. Once your RSS news reader is set up to access The Citadel, it will continually poll the The Citadel RSS feeds for the latest headlines. Popular free RSS news readers in 2005 include Firefox, Netscape, RSS Bandit, and Bloglines, but this field of technology is changing so rapidly that you are advised to search the web for alternative products as well. Click here to search for a RSS news reader application at Google. (Internet Explorer is expected to have RSS news reader capability once version 7 comes out.)

The procedure for subscribing to RSS feeds is different for each RSS news reader; please consult the documentation for your specific RSS news reader. For your convenience, quick start guides for Netscape and Firefox are listed below.
