However, you already have one in MyYahoo. If you have not constructed your own MyYahoo page, just follow the instructions. This is the reader I use. Yes, it's safe, cool AND worth it! The basic idea is that news sites in particular are constantly being updated. By using an RSS feed, all the new info gets sent automatically to your RSS Reader, The benefit (for me anyway) is that I need not go visit every news site I use for updates. I just open my "MyYahoo" page and there it all is!
