Re-read the announcement more carefully.

PLUS subscribers can get 20 or double the number of news items in full text that non-PLUS subscribers can.

copy the link and add it on your reader...

Okay, for some reason that was more difficult than adding RSS feeds from BBC News, ESPN, etc.

For those services, clicking on the RSS feed link would automatically add that RSS Feed location as an icon on the Firefox Toolbar Folder. I guess that's extra code writing and testing. Well, it's working now and that's what's important.

Thanks for the RSS service, I like that.

Looks good. I've never tried a RSS feed before, but I just subscribed now, so let's see what this can offer.

I don't know if I remember incorrectly, or if BBC changed the method of subscription.

What I remember was simply clicking on a "Get RSS" link at the bottom of a BBC article and it automatically added the RSS link the Bookmark Toolbar Folder in Firefox.

Anyway, it doesn't matter as I got the Poly RSS working now. Its a nice service you guys are giving us with RSS. Thank you.

SG: To get it here was as easy as clicking on the status bar in the lower right corner of FF, that's sounds just as easy?
