In So Many Words

I have a dear friend, Marie Armenia, who has a blog on her personal website. I only read it once in a while, not because I don’t love her (I do!), but because it does not have an RSS feed and I rarely remember to go to the site to see if anything new has been posted.

Well, now that problem has been solved. By using Page2RSS, I can enter the URL of her page and add it to my feed reader. She puts up a new post, and voila, it shows up for my viewing pleasure.

You can put in any URL and click the To RSS button and it will then allow you to subscribe to updates to that site. Try it out with your favorite non-RSS sites. While you’re at it, visit Marie and click the email link to send her your comments.

Thanks to Google Operating System (an unofficial blog) for passing this on.

For the first day of May, I am focusing on a different kind of awareness – the bloggy kind! That’s because today has been declared RSS Awareness Day. For those of you who are not already reading this via feed, visit RSSday.org and watch the video “RSS in Plain English” to learn what it is and how it works. (Don’t forget to come back here and subscribe once you are all set up with your feed reader!)

I am currently using Google Reader to keep up with the blogs and other websites I like. To those of you who are already RSS-converts, which feed reader do you use and what do you like best about it?
