So a friend of mine checked out my blog and wanted to know how to subscribe. That made me realize, I didn’t even know what that meant! So I called my tech-savvy friend who helped me set up this blog for some advice. Basically, most sites (not just blogs) have this little orange icon on it or in the address bar. When you click on the icon it will allow you to subscribe to that site. I set up my personal RSS (really simple syndication) through Google Reader when prompted. Now, instead of checking all these sites individually, I can just go to my Google Reader page and it pulls up all of my subscribed sites and I can sort it by which ones have been recently updated.
To help any of you that want to subscribe to my site, I put the little orange icon on my page next to the “recent posts” heading. Now you can be in the loop, and updated whenever I update!
Check out this Wiki posting for what it all means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(file_format)
