Having fun with RSS!

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is a web feed

format. Am I losing you?

It basically means you can have all sorts of news delivered right to your browser or email or feed reader software. Stuff like news, latest product offerings or even the content of this site.

Firefox calls the feed bit of their browser Bookmarks and IE stores feeds in its Favourites Center (probably a trademarked term – ugh!).

If you ever see the feed symbol (right) click on it and your browser should do most of the work for you. In Firefox, all my feeds are listed in one row across the top of my browser. Clicking on one shows me a list of stories or BLOG entries or software product updates produced by that company / blogger.

Try subscribing to this site’s feed by clicking here. You can always delete it.
