Really Simple Syndication (RSS)

Hey so I encourage everyone to get something to read RSS feeds. That way, you won't need to keep checking the blog (or any other blog) to see if there's been an update. For those of us using a Mac (yay!), Apple's Mail app does a pretty good job of it. Just hit the + on the bottom left of the window and add an RSS feed. Our feed can be found by clicking the RSS logo up in the top right of the page, or by clicking here. That's the address. Just copy and paste it. You can even bookmark it in Safari, but that kinda defeats the purpose of having something check for you. If you don't want to use Apple Mail, you can try NetNewsWire.

As for you PC users, I don't know if Outlook or anything reads RSS on its own. But there are some pretty good RSS readers out there. FeedDemon is supposed to be pretty good. NewsGator Inbox is one that works with Outlook if you like using Outlook.

So that's my shpiel about RSS. I highly suggest it - it makes life a lot easier, and more exciting! Now you'll know exactly when one of us has added something to the blog! Yay!
