Reading RSS Feeds
To begin using RSS, you need a special news reader or aggregator that displays RSS content feeds from sigma-aldrich.com. A news reader is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new information that has been added.  There are many different versions of news readers, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications. Web-based news readers let you catch up with your RSS feed from any computer, whereas downloadable applications let you store them on your main computer.  Below is a list of just a few tools for reading RSS feeds.
