To check your version, go to Internet Explorer and then use the pulldown Help Menu to travel as follows:
Help > About Internet Explorer
You will see a box open that identifies the version number of your copy of Internet Explorer. If you have Explorer 7 or above, please proceed.

Step 2: The RSS Icon
Click the RSS icon and select which article to subscribe to from the dropdown RSS Menu.
Step 3: Subscribe
