RSS Feeds
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.
There are a variety of free Feed readers, or aggregators, available on the internet - so many so that it would be impossible to give help on all of them. Some of these include:

There are also programs, like Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, which allow to view feeds in the browser and can be easily bookmarked.
Our Web manager uses Windows Live Mail, which is also free and manages your multiple email accounts (although doesn't support Yahoo! Mail unless you have a Yahoo! Pro account). You may have already downloaded Windows Live Mail as it has been included in a Windows Update, depending on your update settings. If you have not downloaded it, you may do so here.
