Let THEM Come to YOU!

As the parent of three rather busy and precocious elementary school students, I am always in the market for something that is efficient.  Enter the world of RSS.  It reminds me of Peapod, the service Stop & Shop uses to get groceries to busy families so they don't have to brave the lines.

It really is very simple (actually, Really Simple Syndication), and most important, a massive time-saver.  One thing, however:  you have to decide how you want to set up, otherwise you will get too much info, which is what RSS is designed to avoid.  I remember a Chinese restaurant in Washington DC (where I went for undergrad) whose menu was 20 pages long.  It was very hard to make a decision!  RSS can be like this if you aren't careful, so learn how to make it work.

Perhaps equally important, the RSS function can help you as a blogger.  Most who blog want to be read, and there are tricks to help it happen.

Once I started, I was hooked.  How about you?
