RSS Awareness Day
RSS definition: (Really Simple Syndication) is a format used to deliver information from websites and pages that get updated regularly.
May 1st is the first official RSS Awareness Day. Many, many people don't know or understand what RSS is, nor do they know it can benefit them.
I have done a few posts concerning RSS feeds, from explaining what an RSS feed is, to how to set up your own...worth checking out.

Redirect Your Feed
RMail - Subscribe by Email to Any RSS Feed
To make it simple most bloggers put their feed icon in a prominent spot for you to see. At the present time, mine is near the top of the page in the right hand corner. If you click on it, and have a reader such as Google Reader, then you have subscribed to my RSS feed! Now, every time I post, it will be delivered to your reader, and you can read it there or click on the link and read it from my blog. How sweet is that?!

I like your new header Annie. I don't use any feeds. Just don't want to bother with them. I'd rather read the blog itself. I like seeing what people have added to their sidebar.
@Laura, Thanks!
I use feeds just so I know when a new post is published. I am like you...I'm a sidebar junkie. So, I go to the blog to actually read the post.
I love RSS Feeds.. it makes info gathering so much easier.. I am a sidebar junkie as well. I love having all the info right in my face waiting for me instead of browsing through a bunch of sites.
Hi there Annie,
I'm loving your blog.
Well I've been searching for a blogger hack that will show only your post titles when searching a blogger blog with the navbar search bar(exactly like your blog). The same thing goes with clicking on your labels, (how make only the post titles to appear?). I believe your hack is very similar to hans at beautifulbeta.
I have had han's show table of contents hack in my blog for a while now. I would be eternally if you could make a post about this hack or just let me know.
thanks so much.

Thanks for some great info on RSS. We're currently trying to set-up on our new site, it's a bit intimidating. Also, getting on a regular schedule of posting is a challenge.
Cheers,
