RSS for beginners

Many folks still visit web sites and blogs and out of habit they surf to the URL and read what is new. I found RSS about 2 years ago and realized it's power and flexibility. I first learned of RSS thru iTunes and podcasts, however I eventually tried a number of different readers before settling in on FeedDemon 2.1 as my RSS reader of choice. I love it and have it configured to open the blog/website in Internet Explorer when I double click on the link in FeedDemon. It's easy, it saves me time, and every night I can check on new content from 109 blogs and sites without surfing to each site. When I see a post or article that I wish to explore, I double click on the link and I am on the site.

Here is a nice little video that walks thru the basics of RSS and Subscribing to feeds. I know there are a lot of you that read my posts who are not using RSS. Please take a look at the video and consider using RSS. It's easy and it will simplify your surfing and reading habits.

Thanks to Lee and Sachi from Common Craft for the video .....


There are two types of Internet users, those that use RSS and those that don't. This video is for the people who could save time using RSS, but don't know where to start.
