A reader asks:
Hey, is there an RSS feed for sheckymagazine.com? I like reading it, but it would be much easier if I could read the updates through my feedreader along with the rest of my morning must-reads. Thanks.
There is indeed an RSS feed for SHECKYmagazine. “RSS” stands for Real Simple Syndication, or so we’re told. It is a means by which we can syndicate or “push” our content to desktops everywhere via feedreaders or similar aggregators. (To put it another way, a reader can sit and wait for our postings to be sent to him. This eliminates the need for the reader to have to come to our website to read our content.)
We set it up some time ago, via FeedBurner and, at the time, we immediately put a little “Add this site to MyYahoo” buglet on the righthand column, then promptly forgot about it.
We have moved that bug up to the upper lefthand column. And it is now accompanied by another bug, a standard feed icon. Click on the top one to add this blog to a number of popular feeders. Click on the MyYahoo button to add us to your MyYahoo!
What does all this mean? It means that those of you who use a feedreader or an aggregator to peruse this and other blogs will be able to have SHECKYmagazine content delivered to your reader at a specified time every day.
What does that mean? We’re not sure. But we know it’s a good thing.
If anyone has any questions about this FeedBurner technology, ask them in a comment on this post. AND… if anyone has the answer to any inquiries, post them in a comment on this post. If no comments appear, we’ll assume you’re all technologically savvy!
Thanks!
