Adding A Feed

To add an RSS feed, click on the New RSS Feed link under the RSS Feeds tree in the sidebar. Adding a feed requires two pieces of information:

Name - Enter a friendly name for the feed. Typically, you'll want to make this a short name so you can easily find it. You can use a backslash character to make the feed appear in a subdirectory, such as in News\Fox News or Technology\Microsoft Updates.

URL - The feed URL must be entered exactly as it is written in the web site you want to track. Some sites do not offer RSS, and those that do usually have a link from their web site to the RSS feed.

RSS feeds will typically have orange XML icons next to each feed. To add a feed, right-click on the link and select "copy shortcut" from the context menu. Then paste this value into the RSS URL.
