RSS

So, you're interested in RSS ey? I'll explain what it is, and how you can get my feeds (and any others you wish to get).

Ok, to keep it simple, RSS is a cool little web technology that allows you to receive updates to a website instantaneously. I would call it a "virtual newspaper" type of technology. You have a program on your computer that contains feeds you've added to it, and it will fetch all those updates for you! For instance, if you read a lot of websites that do daily articles and such, doesn't it get annoying checking every website, everyday? Well, you probably don't have to.

Most websites nowadays have RSS feeds. You should look out for a symbol like this, or for the terms
"subscribe", "feed", "RSS", or "Atom". For instance, on the bottom of my blog it says, "Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)"

Anyway, you'll first want to get a program. A really simple one I found would be Feedreader. Download it by clicking this text, and install it. during the installation, you may want to have it startup during Windows (which would be a nice option) and it'll ask you if you want to add any feeds (it has some already set, you can choose to add some or choose none). Anyway, once you're done, open up the program and go to the menu "File". Then add a new feed! You'll have to put in a link, here are some of my RSS feeds:

For this blog: http://stealthbarp.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

Feed for my photos: http://beta.zooomr.com/bluenote/feeds:rss/people/stealth

Feed for my comic: http://just-deserts.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

And there! Feedreader will fetch all the latest posts I made for you, so you don't have to come visit the site manually all the time! :P Of course, you can add other websites too, so start using ze technology!
