HOW: If you see an advantage for you in subscribing to 'Feeds' then here's the how to.  As usual I'll keep it simple as my own understanding of it is just that, simple.

The orange button is the Feeds symbol.  If this button is not orange then the current page does not allow subscriptions to it.  Besides the menu bar the
