Help! I’ve become a RSS Junkie
I have become such a RSS feed junkie, I actually got a free stand alone feed reader called NewsFire that collects all my favorite feeds, and alerts me with a sound and bouncing dock icon when new articles come in on those feeds. I don’t even need to have a browser open to at least keep up with current RSS headlines. Anyone who is on a Mac, and who likes to keep up with various RSS feeds should enjoy using NewsFire. This little program operates with a K.I.S.S. (Keep It Stupidly Simple) interface that I just love.
My ever growing collection of RSS feeds keep me up to date with the latest breaking news stories, pages added to social bookmark sites, new content added to some of my favorite pages, and even new software goodies. One thing I look for now on any page I Stumble Upon as I am Flocking around the net is an RSS feed from it. If it has one, and I really like the page, I add it to my favorites, and my RSS feeds collection.
My long time readers know that I have a weakness for odd news stories. My new penchant for RSS feeds is helping me indulge that old weakness to the max. I like to share some of those odd, and often funny stories with my faithful readers. Sometimes I even find stories that actually manage to touch my stony little heart. I like to share those as well. Which is why I added the, That touched my stony heart category in my handy Collapsable Categories menu. And since I did join the Net Neutrality Movement the other day, I’m thinking of cranking up Alice’s Restaurant later, and making a Net Neutrality Category I can drop stuff related to the movement into.
Anyone who wants to keep up with what is going on in BBs Blog can do so by using the handy dandy Subscribe button in the right hand sidebar of my blog pages. You can also try Clicking Here, or use whatever means you usually do to subscribe to a RSS Feed. Since I am confining my email updates mainly to Weekly Fix reminders, I suggest hardcore fans and stalkers subscribe to the RSS feed so you don’t miss anything going on here. After all, you wouldn’t want to miss seeing a story that touched my stony little heart, now would you?
And after weeks of pulling my hair out and driving myself crazy, I finally managed to figure out how to add a Really Simple Syndicate feed to my main page as well. The RSS feed I created for it with Feeder, is being burned by FeedBurner. To subscribe to that feed, swing by, Musings From The Bottle, or try Clicking Here. Subscribing to my two RSS feeds isn’t going to be as much fun as a secret bath cam feed, but at least hardcore fans and stalkers will be able to keep up with what I want them to know via those two feeds.
I have created a Links Page in Musings From The Bottle that has a few good links in it already, and it will be growing as I continue surfing the net and bookmarking pages that I think others will enjoy. I just added a I Am Woman category I hope women, and men who are trying to figure out what makes us tick will enjoy. The Links Page is one of the pages I will be updating on a regular basis so be sure and subscribe to the RSS Feed for Musings From The Bottle if you want to keep up with what I hope will be some fun and interesting links.
