rss feeds and blog reading

RSS is a great feature used web logs but most people don't know what it is or how it can make their lives easier.

It allows you to subscribe to sites you are interested in reading so that instead of visiting every site you like to read you can read it all from one place. Web browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Seamonkey, opera etc) and email clients(Thunderbird, outlook express etc) both support rss.
