2. Follow the instructions on that page which include installing the XML Tools Scripting Addon
3. Launch the Adium RSS Reader application and configure it for your favorite RSS feed.





4. Update your AIM profile and insert the text “%_rss” for where you want your RSS headline to show



5. If everything works, your profile should look like this:
