RSS Feeds
I’m going to have to write a bit more about this topic at some point, it’s just that I have to write this down, before I get bored of the actual novelty. Basically think about it as if this little program ticking away in the bottom of your tray, collecting information from the various websites, giving you headlines about what the deal is with the world. It’s like an up-to-the-minute newspaper, only it’s all free and you choose which topics you’d ideally like to hear about. It’s pretty extensive and what’s nice is that you learn a lot more about what’s going on with the world without even trying very hard.
So how do you go about it then? Well you’ll need an RSS Aggregator. There are loads of free ones and commercial ones on the market. I’ve done like 1 day’s research and come up with a possible 3 winners, although one does seem miles ahead of the competition in terms of development, the main problem is that it’s got a lot of features but just isn’t laid out as nicely as other ones that don’t have that level of features but win points in other areas.
This will be another updated post for sure.
Also finally set up the blog css file to sort out the overall design of this here blog. It will be a long time coming but I’m pretty excited about finishing it and moving on with my next project, which is to finish the story in one form or another.
