I just wanted to write a short post here on what an RSS feed is and how to setup your feed reader.

Many of my friends in their 30’s and older still have no idea what an RSS feed is. For that reason, I used to have a section on my blog homepage called ‘What is RSS?’ When you clicked on it, it would take you right to this page. Unfortunately, that section hit the cutting room floor.

Back at the end of August I penned a column called Blogging is beautiful. I just went back and read it and had a chuckle at some of the things that I wrote back then.

For instance, after spending most of September away from the blog (mainly out of frustration), I was able to make a fair amount of headway in resolving many of the technical issues I faced.

Partly because I was able to teach myself a few things, but mostly because I hired an intern off of Craigslist that was more or less a Godsent. (second time I can remember using the word ‘Godsent’ in a post this month, hmm… interesting)
