   Mike,

   I had the same problem with the RSS here at home and was not able to login using my AATIA ID.

   All the best, M

   If you see a page of XML code when you click on an RSS feed link, do not despair! You may not have an active RSS feed reader or aggregator. Examples of free feed readers include NetVibes, My Yahoo!, iGoogle, and Google Reader (my preference). There are many more, some of which are stand-alone applications.

   Subscribing to a particular site’s feed works a little differently in each reader. Basically, once you have an account with one of these readers, you may manually copy the URL for the feed’s link — look at the address window when you see the page of XML code — and paste it into the appropriate place in your reader (look for an “add content” or a + symbol).

   Alternatively, when you click on the feed link, some readers automatically present you a pop-up that asks you to confirm the subscription. Google Reader works this way. It’s dead simple.

   Once you have subscribed, you can check for new entries in your reader instead of going to the site(s) in question. This is quite efficient if you like to follow several websites.
