How to Add the RSS Feeds to Your My Yahoo and Google Home Page

This page will assist anyone who would like to learn to how to add RSS feeds to their My Yahoo or Google home page.  We will use the example of the Texas History Page here.  If you would you like to have information about the latest Texas history news and events delivered to your computer automatically everyday, this can be done quickly and easily using your own My Yahoo or Google home page.

Most people using browsers on the Internet today have set one of the three main search engines as their home page when they open their web browser.  The three main search engines are Google, Yahoo and MSN.  The first to offer a personal home page was yahoo.com which offers the My Yahoo page.  Google.com now offers a Personalized Home page and so does MSN.com.
