Really Simple Syndication (stoopid!)

Well that's what RSS stands for - Really Simple Syndication.

And I finally got it working for this here blog thanks in no small part to Mr. Craig Wheeler. He found my silly error and now we're rolling!

You've probably seen this nice little icon all over the place and wondered what it is. Well it's how you subscribe to blogs. You click that little sucker wherever you see it and VOILA!

Now you get your favorite blogs (like Motion) fed to you every day.

Anyone w/ a Gmail account already has one of these in place. So just click that orange RSS icon and it will run you through the process. Then go to your Gmail homepage and look at the options across the top of the page. You'll see one called Reader. Click it. You can use that reader to view all your RSS feeds.

If you don't already have Gmail, I highly recommend it - no attachment size limits, chat, nearly unlimited storage and a plethora of other awesome stuff. Did I forget to mention the best spam filters?

RSS is great in the way it gives each of us the ability to publish our work. It's also a great way to get news and check up on your favorite sites w/out spending hours surfing and remembering through your bookmarks.
