Apparently it is RSS Day today. If you don't know it stands for Really Simple Syndication (or other things according to other sources), but it means that you can keep up to date with lots of web sites without having to visit them every day.
Just about every blog or news site publishes an RSS feed, including mine. If you use Firefox then you will see an Orange icon in the address bar when it detects a feed. You need software to read the feeds for you. There are various options there, but I've mainly used on-line readers so that I can access them from multiple computers. My current favourite is Google Reader.
Every morning I log into Google and see all the updates that have come in. This way I can track news from dozens of sites. It can get overwhelming if you subscribe to too many, but I cut back once in a while.
Give it a try and drop me a line if you have questions.
Thanks for that - always wondered how RSS works!
