A Beginner’s Guide to Using RSS for Reading Blogs

Ξ June 24th, 2006 | → 4 Comments | ∇ Blogging stuff, Costa Rica, Geeky Stuff, Life in Costa Rica, News and Comments, RSS Feed, Tutorial, Whatever |

rss.jpgI really do not know just how many Blogs are being published about Costa Rica, but for sure, there have to be about forty or so… maybe more. Some are really, really good! Some are… well… not so good. Who reads these blogs? I guess that depends on the type of Blog. Some are of a personal nature giving readers the chance to peek inside the personal lives of the blog writer. Others are geared to current events, news, information on living in, retiring to, or general information about Costa Rica. Sadly, there are also some SPAM blogs that really say nothing. They only want you to click on one of the ads you find there.

Some Blogs add new content (articles) every day. Others maybe once or twice a week or sometimes less often. So the question is whether there is a way to keep up with the blogs you like to read without having to go to that Blog to see if there is anything new. If you have a list of maybe 8-10 of your favorites, that can be time consuming. Well there IS, and this article will teach you how to do it in almost no time, and the good news is you already have everything you need to set it up!

Pope Makes First Papal Visit To Six Flags

1-Pope-Makes-C.jpgTo me, there are not too many web sites around that are any funnier than The Onion (on a good day!). These people are just not normal and their rampant silliness was exactly what I needed after a nasty day.

Today’s story about Pope Benedict XVI’s return to Rome following his historic, three-day trip to Six Flags St. Louis is just about as funny as it gets.

Anyway, I have no idea if this link will hold forever… but do take a read. It will brighten up your day unless you’re like terminally Catholic!

Tell my brother that wherever he is, I will be with him.

Thanks to everyone. I love you.”
