We launched our most recent version of AOL.com with a nifty RSS Feed Browser at the bottom of the page. Since then, we have heard from numerous users who have expressed a desire to have access to it higher up on the screen. We've made this request a reality by putting the RSS Feed Browser in a tab just below the AOL logo area. We've also taken the opportunity to expand the sizing and add some new functionality.

Here's where to find the RSS Feed Browser:


Clicking on the RSS Feeds tab will take you to a full-on RSS Feed Browser page as seen below. You can also get to it by going to http://www.aol.com/tab/reader.


An awesome new option is the "Expand" link you will see in the upper right corner. Click on it to get full-size images if the feed provider publishes photos. Here's what that view looks like:


Another piece of functionality that's kind of a hidden surprise is an additional expand option that allows you to span the whole page with a select feed's stories. To locate this option, hover your cursor between the "Feed" and "Stories" sections as seen below and a highlighted strip will appear with an arrow you can click to expand:


Click on the arrow to open the feed up to the full width of the page. Doing so will look like this:


Pretty cool, eh? If you want to go back to the normal view, simply hover your cursor to the left of the "Stories" section and another highlighted line will appear with a button to collapse it back to the normal width. And if you no longer want to view images with your feeds, you can click on the "List" link in the upper right of the page.
