Open your preferred RSS reader and manually import or paste the address of the RSS feed. For more help with importing RSS feeds, check your RSS reader's FAQs or help section.

What if I don't have an RSS reader?

There are many types and styles of RSS readers available. Some are Web-based, and require an Internet connection to visit them. There are also desktop clients available for download.
