Blogging Experience, RSS Stuff



This is a brand new cool stuff that I've just discovered it's called RSS, it's basically a "web feed" kind of; it frequently updates blogs or podcasts. To get this stuff to work I had to have a feed readers, well i used the google reader... I subscrived to a couple of web sites i check often and all this software does is, it checks for my subscribed feeds to see if there are new updates or content since the last time i checked, then retrieved that update and post it on my blog: AWESOME!!!
Definetelly that's the kind of technology i'll be using.
This feature allows me to stay tuned by retrieving the latest news from my favorite sites, it allows me to save a great deal of time by not going into each individual sites and i don't need to join these site's email newsletter; i need also to mention that the sites i added to my feed reader syndicate content!! to spot such sites, i checked for that orange speaker look alike logo in the adress bar, some of the sites had an XML button with an orange background and others had an RSS on a blue background.
To Add a site to my feed reader:
I went in my reader google account and clicked on "Add Subscription" in the left side of the screen and entered the site, that's how simple it is!!
Importing all my favourite link to my blog i had to click on the button "Add to Blogger" in the right side of the screen and a scary looking mass of ugly codes appeared, i guess some programming language, but thanks god, i didn't need to know what they meant but instead just copied and pasted them in my blog in the spot meant for HTLM codes and the links appeared on my blog!!
