If you're reading this blog in an RSS reader, you can likely skip this post. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then this is for you.
Most blogs and other pages with regularly updated content publish what's called a feed. This feed is the content of the blog in a standard format. This means that if it's from Blogger, LiveJournal, Fox News or any other page, it's source format doesn't matter. Once it's standardized, it can be read and displayed in any number of feed readers our there.
I use the Google Reader and find that it works very well. I currently have 99 subscriptions to various blogs, news sources and websites. Checking each of these sites by hand would be impossible and very frustrating. Using a feed reader, I'm able to have any new posts sent directly to me. No more checking a site every day for it to be updated just once a week.
To use the Google Reader, all you need is a Google account. Then copy the URL of the website you want to subscribe to into the 'Add Subscription' box. Now you don't have to keep going to different sites, you can just look in one place for all your updates.
Need more help, shoot me an email or leave a comment and I'll get you details.
