Whenever you see this funny icon on a web page, it means the content is syndicated. You can subscribe to what is called an RSS feed and have that content delivered directly to your mailbox the moment it is posted to our website.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and it really is easy to subscribe to an RSS feed. Why would you do so? Say you were a real news addict and it wasn't enough to wait until our daily newsletter arrived -- you want to read the stories as soon as we post them. You could either visit the website throughout the day, or you could subscribe to a news feed.

Once you subscribe to the feed, your news reader constantly checks our site and alerts you if we have posted anything new. If we have, it appears as an unread message in your news reader. Some people use Microsoft Outlook as their news reader, while others use iGoogle, Atom, NewsGator or any of the dozens of free programs available to help you select the stories you want to read.

RV Daily Report syndicates all of our news stories and most of our blogs. Whether a blog is syndicated or not is up to the author. So, how do you subscribe?

First, you click on the little orange icon. It will open a window that lists all the items included in that feed so you can make sure that's the type of information you want to receive. The top of that page has links for you to add the feed to iGoogle or Google Reader. You can also click on the link "Subscribe to this feed."

Clicking on either of those options opens a window giving you a chance to name the feed and click okay. Once you do that, the feed will appear in your Internet browser window or e-mail inbox.
