RSS Explained
Within this XML file I include the necessary coding and the preview text and links you see in My Yahoo! or Bloglines.

Once you get the idea and have chosen your preferred RSS Reader (Yahoo!, Bloglines etc), you can subscribe to dozens of different feeds. Bloglines is a free service and is where I read all the RSS feeds to which I have subscribed. If you don't use Yahoo!, register at Bloglines.

Just Tag It!
Or if your blogging software has categories -- this will
be recognized by Technorati as a tag. Think of a 'tag' as a 'keyword' to be used in blogging
and RSS Feeds (Feed tags are still in the works. It's a democratic 'search engine' for blogs. Or maybe a ranking
system will be put in place but this goes against the
'democratic code' of blogging. It's the kind of visitor you want coming to your site or blog.

Blogs and Journalism
For the inexperienced, a blog consists of a running
commentary with pointers to other sites. With a Weblog, you hit the

communities, to business organizations spread throughout

capitalizes on the ease of publishing posts to even greater
extent. Most of the time, the Weblogs tend to be less about actual

Google Does RSS
It is fast becoming 'the'
way data is moved on the web. RSS is not a fad, it is not a trend and it's not going away. One could even speculate that
in the very near future all web pages will have an RSS
component, perhaps a hybrid of 'XML/HMTL' or an embedded
XML code that will work with all browsers, search engines
and servers.
Why Google does not have an RSS search on its main search engine
page still seems baffling. For Google to ignore the growing importance of RSS, blogging,
podcasting, broadcatching, the RSS featured Firefox browser,
MyYahoo, not to mention all those orange XML logos popping
up on most of the major sites on the web -- is beyond comprehension.

RSS, Feeds, and Aggregators
For the blogger they now have a way to syndicate their articles, sharing them among other sites who publish those articles. Richard Dows is a web designer living in Florida, working on small businesses, blogs, site design, and more. Surprisingly out of 1,000 blog readers (who are themselves a small elite minority among Internet users) 66% have not even heard of RSS and 23% said they understood but did not use it. Feeds are a blog's (or site's) method of syndicating content, arranged concisely in an XML format and, as mentioned above, stripped of any extraneous presentation. Those who syndicate get content, and the blogger gets exposure.

And finally, as an extra good thing, search engines like blogs because of the regularly updated content - they are nuts about fresh content - and the easily spidered structure blogs use. You really don't need any technical knowledge at all to set up a blog and produce a feed.
