RSS



RSS Stands for Real Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary. An RSS Aggregrator is a tool that is used to bring the information that you want to read from frequently updated sites such as a weblog to you. This work through the use of a code that is referred to as a "feed" similar to HTML code that makes it possible for you to subscribe to the content that is published on a site. So, if you teach middle school and in your travels through reading blog and websites you find that you have many favorites, it is possible to use an RSS aggregator or collector that will bring all the new content of the websites or the blogs you enjoy reading to one location. The RSS aggregators only bring the updated information that you want to one location when you seek it out. Through it's use you quickly learn which sites you prefer to visit and rarely miss an update as long as you check your aggregator.

=Bloglines -=

[|bloglines.com] is a web-based aggregator that I have had a great deal of success using. What I like about Bloglines is that I can access my feeds or subscriptions from any computer.
