May 1st is RSS Awareness Day, and there are still a lot of people out there who don't understand or use RSS feeds to get their news and information. I won't go into a long explanation, as the video below has been viewed by tens of thousands, and is considered a great understandable explanation of RSS (Really Simple Syndication), how it works, and its useful features.

After you view it, if you want to give RSS a try, you might want to start with subscribing to this blog. Use the "Subscribe to Our Feed" link in the right bar or there is a link at the bottom of every one of our posts. The difference in the RSS subscription and the email newsletter description is timing and frequency. If you subscribe to the RSS feed, you'll get a link in your feed reader every time a new post is entered. If you subscribe to the email newsletter, you'll only get one email a month with the last ten or fifteen posts. To keep up with calendar events, the feed is MUCH better.
