Using RSS Reader to stay updated

I recently asked a few people who read my blog how they stay updated and nearly all said that they just checked back occasionally.

I know RSS sounds like an awfully technical term but it's really a way to receive updates about website content without having to visit the website so you can decide whether or not to visit the website.

You'll see to the right of this website there is a little orange icon thingy underneath the calendar which actually points to this url:

Now, this will return code for an RSS reader to turn it into readable bulletins for you, so all you need is an RSS Reader..

Google Reader is supposed to be good:

Or you can cast your net wider there are quite a few out there and mostly free as well.

And there you have it, i'm addicted to feeds as you can see below, and spend half an hour digesting tech and sport news every morning before i've got on the bus! I used to view a lot more, but you have to be selective;)
