Syndicate Me!

I'm really, really cool now, and I owe it all to Mac. She patiently described this whole RSS feed business to me, and I really almost get it! Actually, it comes in waves and flashes of understanding. But I've added a little dohickey to my blog that shows my RSS feed URL, whatever that means. More importantly, I've listed all my favorite blogs over at Bloglines, so I can tell instantly whether and when a blog has been updated. So although I don't fully comprehend what's going on, I do see what it can do for me. Sorta like my iPod.

Interestingly enough (to me, anyway), I just yesterday put all of my blogroll on RSS/XML subscriptions thru Bloglines. Just about everyone publishes an RSS feed, so it's easy. This makes it much more practical to keep up with updates to the blogs I like to read, although I have no idea what effect it has on hit stats.

And that's how I got to this post!

Bloglines saves me so much time.

I myself understand RSS but I haven't identified a personal use for it yet, besides when I used to pip slashdot headlines to my web page. And speaking of iPods, I may be newly iPodded soon :)
