<div class="entry-content"><br/><div class="entry-body"><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><span style="COLOR: #000066"><strong>The Oprah definition</strong></span><br>The <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_%28file_format%29">technical acronym for <br/>RSS</a> is “Really Simple Syndication”, an XML format that was created to <br/>syndicate news, and be a means to share content on the web. Now, to geeks and <br/>techies that means something special, but to everyday folks like you and me, <br/>what comes to mind is, “Uh, I don’t get it?”<o:p> </o:p></span></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">So, to make <br/>RSS much easier to understand, in Oprah speak, RSS stands for: I’m <br/><strong>“Ready for Some Stories”</strong>. It is a way online for you to get a <br/>quick list of the latest story headlines from all your favorite websites and <br/>blogs all in one place. How cool is that? (Click on image for larger <br/>view)<o:p> </o:p></span></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p></o:p><br/><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://cravingideas.blogs.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/rssforoprah.gif"></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://cravingideas.blogs.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/rssforoprah_1.gif"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 5px 5px 0px" width="475" height="231" border="0" alt="Rssforoprah_1" title="Rssforoprah_1" src="http://cravingideas.blogs.com/backinskinnyjeans/images/rssforoprah_1.gif"></a> <br></p></span><br/><p></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Suppose you <br/>have 50 sites and blogs that you like to visit regularly. Going to visit each <br/>website and blog everyday could take you hours. With RSS, you can “subscribe” to <br/>a website or blog, and get “fed” all the new headlines from all of these 50 <br/>sites and blogs in one list, and see what’s going on in minutes instead of <br/>hours. What a time saver!<o:p> </o:p></span></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">That one place <br/>where your RSS list is created is called an RSS Reader, and it gathers all the <br/>headlines from all the websites and blogs you have subscribed to. In a moment, I <br/>will describe how to get an RSS Reader.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><a rel="nofollow" id="more"></a><br/><div class="entry-more"><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><span style="COLOR: #000066"><strong>Subscribing to RSS feeds</strong></span><br>But <br/>first, to “subscribe” to a website or blog’s RSS feed simply means that you are <br/>telling that website or blog, “Yes please. Send me your story headlines.” It’s <br/>like subscribing to a magazine or newsletter. Instead of getting a magazine or <br/>email, you will just get a list of headlines sent to your RSS reader. If the <br/>headline looks interesting to you, all you have to do is click on the headline <br/>and you’ll be sent to the whole story.<o:p> </o:p></span></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">In order to <br/>subscribe to a website or blog’s RSS, all you have to do is click on an RSS <br/>symbol like one of those shown in the diagram above, or a text link of the words <br/>“Subscribe to our RSS feed” on the website or blog. Typically, you can find <br/>these RSS symbols or text links in your browser window, on the sides of the <br/>website page, or on the bottom of the page. The publishers of the websites and <br/>blogs really want people to subscribe to their RSS, so they will make it very <br/>easy for you to find the subscription links.<o:p> </o:p></span></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><span style="COLOR: #000066"><strong>RSS Readers</strong></span><br>Now, because <br/>nothing is ever standard on the web like dealing with different operating <br/>systems, Mac vs. PC, and different flavored browsers like Internet Explorer, <br/>AOL, Safari, and Firefox, the way to get an RSS reader will be dependent on what <br/>browser you like to use, and how accessible you’d like your RSS list(s) to <br/>be.<o:p> </o:p></span></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Just like <br/>there are flavors of web browsers, you may see and hear of different flavors of <br/>RSS XML feeders like RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, and Atom. Again, the flavors are only <br/>important if you want to get techie. If you stick to looking for an RSS symbol <br/>like I have shown you in the diagram, you will be just fine. <br/><o:p></o:p></span></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">If you’d like <br/>your RSS list to be accessible from any computer or mobile device you may have <br/>like a PDA, laptop, or cell phone, some popular RSS readers include (and almost <br/>all are FREE):<br>MyYahoo<br>MyMSN</span><br>MyAOL<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.lektora.com/"> </a><br><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">MyGoogle<br><a rel="nofollow" href="http://bloglines.com/">Bloglines</a><br><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.newsgator.com/NGOLProduct.aspx?ProdId=FeedDemon">FeedDemon</a> <br/>(this one costs money)<br><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.newsgator.com/ngs/order1.aspx">NewsGator</a> (there is a cost <br/>for mobile accessibility)<br><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.netvibes.com/">NetVibes</a><br><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pageflakes.com/">PageFlakes</a><br><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shrook.com/frontpage/">Shrook</a> (For Mac users.

All are good RSS readers, so your <br/>choice will simply come down to the style that appeals most to <br/>you.<o:p> </o:p></span></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><span style="COLOR: #000066"><strong>RSS as Live Bookmarks</strong></span><br>Browsers <br/>like Safari and Firefox allow you to subscribe to RSS feeds through the browser, <br/>and it’s called “live bookmarking”. Currently, you can only do live bookmarking <br/>in Internet Explorer if you have IE7 which is still in Beta. Oprah translation: <br/>Non-geeks cannot do live bookmarking in Internet Explorer because it’s not done <br/>yet. The limitation with using RSS in live bookmark form is that you only have <br/>access to your RSS list from the computer you created the bookmarks on. If you <br/>want the flexibility of complete accessibility, then I recommend going the RSS <br/>Reader route.<o:p></o:p></span></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p></o:p>Here’s an example of an RSS <br/>live bookmark feed for the celebrity gossip site <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.tmz.com/">TMZ.com</a> using the Firefox browser on a <br/>PC.<o:p> </o:p></span></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p></o:p><br/><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://cravingideas.blogs.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/rssinfirefox.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 5px 5px 0px" width="475" height="285" border="0" alt="Rssinfirefox" title="Rssinfirefox" src="http://cravingideas.blogs.com/backinskinnyjeans/images/rssinfirefox.jpg"></a> </p></span><br/><p></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Here’s an <br/>example of RSS live bookmark feed for the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://news.yahoo.com/i/787;_ylt=AqL6M2e5AV7nMjJWfkGxVQdxFb8C;_ylu=X3oDMTA2MnU4czRtBHNlYwNzbg--">Yahoo <br/>Entertainment Celebrity</a> page using the Mac Safari <br/>browser.<o:p> </o:p></span></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p></o:p><br/><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://cravingideas.blogs.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/rssinsafari.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 5px 5px 0px" width="475" height="302" border="0" alt="Rssinsafari" title="Rssinsafari" src="http://cravingideas.blogs.com/backinskinnyjeans/images/rssinsafari.jpg"></a> </p></span><br/><p></p><br/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">So there you <br/>have it.
