How to Find the Feed in Internet Explorer 7

Find RSS

RSS Icon by the Mozilla Foundation

Internet Explorer designates the RSS feed by enabling the RSS button located on the tab bar right next to the home page button. When a website does not have an RSS feed, this button will be grayed out.

Prior to Internet Explorer 7, the popular web browser did not contain built in functionality for recognizing RSS feeds and designating them with the RSS icon. If you use an earlier version of Internet Explorer, you will need to upgrade to the newest version, upgrade to the Firefox browser, or find the RSS icon within the site itself as described in step 2.

After locating the icon, clicking on it will take you to the feed's website where you can obtain the web address. (See step 5 for what to do once you get there.)
