How can I get the latest AAFP News Now headlines via RSS?

I already use a news reader. How do I add ANN to it?

RSS
You can add ANN top stories to your news reader (also called an RSS reader, feed reader or feed aggregator) by clicking the orange RSS icon on the left. Depending on your browser version, when you click the icon, you'll see either a page of unstyled code or a list of recent ANN articles.If you see the unstyled code, just ignore it. Copy the URL from the address bar and paste it into your news reader. If you see the list of articles, choose which application you'd like to use to subscribe from the pull-down menu at the top of the page, and click "Subscribe Now."

The latest versions of modern Web browsers are capable of displaying RSS without the need for additional software.

I don't use a news reader yet. How do I get started?

To see a list of free Web-based and downloadable news readers, visit the RSS Compendium. If you choose to download one, be sure to pick one that is compatible with your computer’s operating system (e.g., Windows, Mac, Linux).

Because all news readers are different, it's important to look at the instructions for adding feeds to your specific news reader. Typically, you can add ANN to your news reader simply by clicking the orange RSS icon wherever you see it displayed on an ANN page. When you do, you'll see a page of unstyled code -- the "instructions" for your news reader. Just ignore that page of code, copy the URL from the navigation bar, and paste it into your news reader.

Does ANN offer other RSS feeds?

Yes, in addition to the top headlines, you can choose from feeds on practice management, resident and student issues, opinion pieces and more. To see the full list, go to About RSS and scroll to the bottom of the page.
