RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds are an easier way to deliver the latest in headlines, summaries, your favorite weblogs to your desktop or Web browser. This makes it easier for you to check on all of the web sites you frequent all at once rather than visiting each site.

To use RSS, copy the feed address and paste it into an RSS news reader or a browser that supports RSS feeds, such as Safari for Mac OS X.

Whenever you see the orange "XML" icon on the Discover Nikkei web site, click on it to find the feed address and add it to your RSS reader. To subscribe to an article series, click on the topic link (e.g. 'War & Resistance' or 'Half Enough') and click on the 'XML' feed icon.

The following are are some links that explain further what RSS is and how to use it.
