RSS FEEDS

I set up My first RSS account about 5 years ago at Bloglines and I have found it still to be the easiest RSS Reader for most people.
RSS stands for Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication, which basically means nothing!!
It is referred to as a News Reader which I think confuses people. Yes you can subscribe (FREE) to News websites but it is much more than that. I can honestly say I have NO News sites on my Bloglines reader
The word News simply refers to any website where content is updated regularly. Every time something new is added to a website or in some cases, a BLOG I get all these feeds channeled into my Bloglines reader and they just wait there for me to read at my leisure. It is a very neat way to organise the flow of information and it is also a great way to keep up to date on YOUR particular topic of interest or expertise.

You will notice on MY RSS Reader that I have several Library related feeds and a feed from my son's wife's Blog, which is where I find out what is going on in their lives because when I ask him, he typically says "oh nothing much!!
I really encourage everyone to set up just a few FEEDS on Bloglines at first and then expand your information horizons as you feel more confident.
