What is an RSS Feed and is it useful to me?
On your browser, you will see a little grayed-out symbol that looks like a weird lower-case A either on a toolbar or as the second element in the "Favorites" toolbar: ie, punch the star for Favorites, and you will get a toolbar in which the second symbol is what I describe, between "Favorites" and "History."
When you visit an RSS site, notably blogs, you will see that symbol light up in orange. If you click on it, you will get the option to add that site to your Favorites in a special way. You will thus be 'subscribed' to the blog in question, and that symbol means that whenever you check that little toolbar, you can instantly see which of your subscribed RSS feeds have been updated.
If you then click on a site's name on that list, you will be taken to a special display of that site that has only the text of the site, no pix, etc, very simple, very readable, just the facts, ma'am. If you want that blog to display all its features, then all you have to do is click the site name on that page, and you will be transported into the actual blog, with all its graphics and various widget features, comments, etc.
All these feeds have scalable type, so you can magnify it to suit your browser or device.
My blog exists in close relationship with two other blogs, one belonging to Jane Fancher and the other to Lynn Abbey.
Together, we're the writers of Closed Circle, which you will read more about as time goes on.
