Whew, I managed to sign up for some RSS feeds (with A Little Help From My Friend -- thanks, EH) but it may be awhile before this makes real sense for me. I do get the purpose of RSS, but the way the whole thing works is a shifting shape in the fog.
So far, it appears that a blog also is automatically a newsfeed that anyone can sign up for. (Is every blog a newsfeed and every newsfeed a blog?) And you have to sign in to your Bloglines account -- or other news reader-- to view your RSS feeds. I had pictured these feeds somehow appearing *presto!* on my browser toolbar, in my email, or maybe somewhere on my blog, but no, you go out there and retrieve them. And, there are multiple ways to subscribe.
Once I start viewing the feeds and editing my list, the sun will come out, the fog will slip away, and I will be master of my own techno domain .... yes?
