On many ActiveRain pages is the following icon: 
. What in the world is this and what does it do? I assume that it has something to do with linking your Blog to something else, but I have no idea how it works.
Also, I've noticed that many subscribers have their listings or a cartoon like image on the right hand column of their Blog. How do you do this?
I certainly appreciate any technology help that you all can give me. Thanks!

I can only answer the first one about RSS 2.0. RSS stands for really simple syndication and is a way for you to receive blog posts into an aggregator application. For example in order to subscribe to my blog via RSS 2.0 - you would click on that icon - then you would copy the URL into your blog aggregator. I use Google Reader for this. So, the next time I post this article will be sent to your blog aggregrato. By the way there are many many aggregators out there. I use Google Reader.
Go to Wikipedia and search for RSS. You'll learn quite a bit.
Enjoy,

Scott, To add an image to a post at the top of the block where you write comments there is tool bar. See the B I U....etc at the top. One of the icons looks like a tree - it's the insert image You will need the image and that's how you add. In addtion you can add links from the tool bar, spell check.
Happy Blogging!
