Using Google Reader to Subscribe to a Blog

In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to  use Google Reader to subscribe to a blog or website. Before you can do this, first you must have a Google account and second, the website that you are subscribing to must have RSS feeds.  Blogs, pages, or websites with RSS feeds usually have RSS icons (see number 2 below).

Suppose, you like the Mathematics and Multimedia blog and you want to subscribe to its RSS feeds. You should do the following steps:

1. Log-in to your Google Account and go to the Reader page.
