Hi Nicki RSS is great. There are both stand alone programs and web based news agrigators. I haven't used any of the programs, but I do use a free web based agrigator. It's at www.FastBuzz.com. As I said it's free and it's easy to use and register for. If you want to try it and have some questions let me know.
