Look for this
or
RSS feed pictograms
in news pages of websites, for example Yahoo! news or BBC news
and add them to your reader.
On Web pages, web feeds (RSS or Atom) are typically linked with
the word "Subscribe", an orange rectangle,
, or with just the
letters RSS. Many news aggregators such as My Yahoo!
publish
subscription buttons () for use on Web pages to simplify the
process of adding news feeds.

If you click an RSS link, you may see XML (or extensible Markup Language) code in your browser.
This is to be expected, since you are not meant to view the raw RSS feed in a browser window
To view the headlines, add the feed to an RSS news reader, or to a browser that supports RSS feeds
