"Ready for Some Stores" <-- Haha...That's great! So that's what it stands for...

A great post. I will bookmark your post as I encourage others to Join AR. I am sure they will be asking me. I had to ask even after reading about it on the web. I felt stupid, but then........I simply changed my mind and now I am OK with it, LOL. Nice to see you on line. My new site should be ready soon. It is very unusual. Jim sent me a note over the weekend and said it was the most complex site he has ever worked on. Talk about nervous. Usually simple is better ??  :-)

Ricardo... :)

William... excellent. Who is doing your site for you?

Oprah wouldn't describe an RSS feed for anyone.  She would pay a professional to explain it.  This professional would be interviewed by her best friend Gayle. The interview would take place in an exotic location so Gayle would get a trip out of the deal, too.

Jeff- I'm not sure of the AR 'rules', so please forgive me if I'm over stepping my bounds by adding another link here. I mean no ill will, just trying to push information.

The only explanation of RSS that ever made any sense to me being a left brained, visual learner, is from http://www.commoncraft.com/rss_plain_english. I posted this on TBR for my non-geek readers, and this was perfect for me.  I do hope it might help someone, as your link will.  Different strokes for different folks.

Jeff, here is one that explained it best to me. I sent it to my office and they finally got it. I'm still learning so if this is not right to post here. Just delete. Thanks!

Chris... you are SO right. And then I'd watch it and say, "Damn... why can't I be Oprah's best friend."

Theresa... on my posts, AR rules can take a flying leap. You may link in comments on my posts any time you like. Great link. I liked this for it's new definition... Ready For Some Stories. It's a heck of a lot easier to undestand than Really Simply Syndication. :)

Missy...  thank you. By they way, that is Paul linking to the same link that Theresa just sent.

Hi Jeff- Ready For Some Stories- Great way of looking at it, I have my "google reader" set up for my "stories" and still can't keep up! Thanks for the new way of looking at it, since the RSS is supposed to make life easier.

Alison... it is supposed to make life easier... but I think I may have too many stories coming at me now. Time to weed out some of them.

Jeff,Now if we can only have it read it to us while we sleep...we can take in more stories.  Filling our brain while we sleep...now that's multi-tasking

Bob... amen, brother. Amen.

Nice, simple explanation.  I have an RSS feed on my Live in Los Gatos blog, but Website Grader doesn't "see" it. I have no idea what to do about that. (The technical stuff is not my strongsuit. I just prefer to write, write, write.)

Mary... if you just write, write, write... you'll be fine. I'll take a look at your blog.    

Thanks Jeff. I appreciate it.

That's great, thanks for sharing this!!!!  I love Chris' comment!!!!

Thanks Jeff. I'm now heading over to Stephanie's post =)

Ana... Chris' comment is hilarious!

Lisa... I know you're going to enjoy it. I'm guess the rest of her blog is pretty decent as well.

{SVW Hubba}...aka Tool Boy...

I wish I had this post three weeks ago when I was studying RSS Feeds. While studying I said HUH...More than a few times :) 

Thanks for bringing this up and showing us Non-Geeks that the explanations really are in ENGLISH. LOL.

TLW...ROAR!

Hold on everyone... TLW [SVW] is on to this RSS feed thing now. Katie bar the door!

LOL

Ready For Some Stories is much easier to understand, 

That weblog, Back In Skinny Jeans, is a hoot.  The author writes well and kept my interest in what I would normally find to be a boring topic.

Brian... amen. It's a great blog.

Oh my goodness gracious me! Now even I get it! I'm off to set up my RSS now! Not sure yet if this is going to save me time or glue me to my laptop for longer!
