Extracting information from RSS

Good Day to everyone.

I am trying to get the title, description and URL from an RSS feed but when I click the 'RSS feed' link on the website, the page I am taken to is a continuous stream of text and links. From what I've read, the basic information for an RSS feed is supposed to be formatted this way:

<item>
<title>RSS Resources</title>
<link>http://www.webreference.com/authoring/languages/xml/rss/</link>
<description>Defined in XML, the Rich Site Summary (RSS) format has quietly become a dominant format for distributing headlines on the Web. Our list of links gives you the tools, tips and tutorials you need to get
started using RSS. 0323</description>
</item>

How do I find the title, description and URL for content on a website?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Regards,

Tanja.
