Yes! RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is very easy to set up. An RSS document, or “feed” contains a summary of content for a website or blog. Subscribing to an RSS feed allows you to view new content for a website in a simple and clean format without always having to go back to the original site. Whether your favorite websites update daily, weekly, or monthly, you’ll have access to the most recent information as soon as it posts.
There are a lot of RSS readers available that allow you to view feeds from multiple web sites. Personally, I use Google Reader because I use a suite of other Google products and like to keep as many things in one place as possible. To sign up for Google Reader you will need a Gmail login. If you do not have a Gmail account, I highly suggest setting one up, as I’ll be reviewing a host of other applications from Google in later posts. Plus, it’s always handy to have a second email box where you can send all of your junk mail.
Once you have created an account with Google Reader, get started by adding the Admins @ Work RSS feed. Select “Subscribe to Feed” on the left hand navigation bar.
Select “Add to Google” and add to your Google Reader account. The next time you log in to Google Reader you can view the Admins @ Work feed, along with your other favorite websites.
