You can subscribe to these RSS feeds using:

• A separate RSS reader application. A list of RSS readers can be found on Yahoo or by using any search engine to find an "RSS Reader."  
• An RSS-aware web browser, such as Firefox, or Safari for Macintosh OS X.
• A web-based RSS aggregator, such as My Yahoo or My MSN, using the one-click subscription feeds above.

Once you choose an RSS reader and install it, follow the instructions provided with the RSS Reader to add one or more of the feeds listed above (generally as simple as clicking on the orange "XML" button next to the desired feed). The news reader then will continually pull the latest headlines from the Department of State RSS feed(s) you selected.
