How to subscribe to RSS?

You will need a RSS reader or a browser with built-in reader installed before you can subscribe to any RSS channel/feed. After the reader is ready, surf to your favorite news sites or websites. In these news sites or other websites, e.g. home page of the NCKU Library or BBC news, look for this XML or RSS RSS feed pictogram. Place the mouse cursor on one of the above pictograms and click the right mouse button, then choose "Copy Shortcut" to copy the channel/feed. Start your RSS reader and add the channel/feed by pasting (through clicking right mouse button) the url. Add as many feeds to your free RSS reader as you want and use it as convenient news aggregator.
