RSS (Really Simple Syndication) lets you automatically receive updated content from your favorite Web sites. Using RSS, you won't have to go to Web sites to see if they have new content; the new content will come to you.
Please note that by accessing the RSS feeds, you agree to the Terms of Use, which govern your use of the RSS Service and are set forth below.
Bright orange RSS buttons appear on Web pages included in our RSS feeds. The buttons link to this page where you can sign up for our feeds below.
Available Feeds
How do I use RSS?
If you don't have a Web site, you'll need a program called a News Reader to view your RSS feeds. You can tell if a site offers an RSS feed by a small button that says either RSS or XML. But if you click one of the buttons, you'll probably get a page full of XML code in your browser. News Readers interpret that code and display your chosen RSS feeds properly on your computer. You simply copy the URL or XML code associated with the RSS feed into your News Reader.
Where do I find a reader?
There are different News Readers available for different computer operating systems.
Here are a few that are popular for PCs:
Awasu, FeedDemon, and RSSReader. These offer free trials, as well as premium versions for a fee.
For Mac OS X, try: Newsfire or NetNewsWire.
These newsreaders plug in to applications already running on your PC. For instance, NewsGator works with Microsoft Outlook, feeding headlines into Inbox folders from subscribed channels. Pluck, on the other hand, works with Internet Explorer.
A few readers work through the Web, such as Bloglines
How can I sign up to get an RSS feed from Discovery.com?
Wherever you see a bright orange button that says "RSS" — for instance, on Discovery News articles — click on that link. You'll come to this page. Then, you'll need to follow the instructions for your specific News Reader in order to add the feed to your RSS list.
For many readers, all you have to do is to copy and paste one of the URLs listed on this page under "Available Feeds" into the "New Feed" field in the reader program.
