RSS Feeding applications - needed with Safari???

Question

Hi.
I am now getting courageous and want to start playing around with RSS. With ie it has always been impossible until recently itappears there are some RSS reader/feeders that need to be downloaded and installed (on PC). I have not found any feature on the Mac that readily works like a Feeder allowing you to choose through a drop down what RSS you want to see and bang, it is on your desktop. Is RSS feeder/reader built in or a separate application? I could not find anything on Apple site.
Thanks for pointing the flashlight.

In Safari Tiger, RSS is built-in. It is established via the Safari Preferences>RSS.
To make the feeds easily accessible, go to your Bookmarks Manager (clicking on the book icon to the far left on the Bookmarks Bar). There, on the left under "collections" you'll see various folders. One ought to say "bookmarks bar". Click on it. Then on the right, you can establish a folder (call it RSS or whatever is significant to you) by clicking on the + sign at the bottom of the panel, dragging the new folder so it is positioned above any existing folders.
Click on the Bookmarks Icon to return to the normal browser window. There, you can drag/drop your RSS feeds directly into the RSS folder you just created. If you want to sort the Feeds, or even create sub-folders, e.g by category, just go back to the Bookmarks Manager and further define the organization in the folder.
Post back if you need any further clarification.
