This post is to announce that my blog (you might notice that I am finally calling this thing a blog now) is syndicated. This is actually not really all that newsworthy except that it is something I have just learned a little bit more about. Anyway, apparently RSS (or Really Simple Syndication) is all the rage on the Internet at the moment so I thought I had better get in on the act. For more information on what RSS is start by looking at this guide by FeedBurner, which incidentally is the service I am using to assist my syndication. Basically RSS is all about receiving numerous streams of information and content (feeds) to one centralised location - whether it be an RSS Reader installed on your computer or a web-based RSS Reader service. For example, you might already be a regular visitor to my blog as well as Andy's blog and you might also go to the BBC website on a daily basis to get your news and sport. Well an RSS Reader would enable you to go to just one place for all the latest from all three websites (and, of course, many more).
Anyway, if you already use an RSS Reader you might already know how to "tune in" to my blog remotely, as it were. If not, maybe check out Bloglines, which is a web-based RSS Reader or click on this icon
(which, incidentally, now appears at the bottom of the right-hand sidebar) to help get you started.
