The video was the best way to grasp the idea of RSS. "Really Simple Syndication" files my favorite blogs or other regularly updated material in to one location. I wish I had known about this a long time ago. I am the worst to have 6 pages open...going back and forth reading and working when I now can have one site to catch up on my latest interest.
I realized that with my google account my reader was already in place...I just needed to utilize the asset. The blogs I follow were listed there. Then, I went and subscribed to several outside blogs that I found interesting. It was a very simply process to click on their RSS icon or Subscribe icon, then be taken to a screen where I would click add to google and it was instantly added to my file.
In my personal life using RSS would simplify all the artist I try to keep up with. I am calling this my personal life because it is outside of my path to become a Special Education Teacher...long story on how I have such diverse career paths going but, that is for another day and time. Just know that I love offering the world a lot more than I care to take from it...I am a giver...teaching keeps me grounded, level headed, and aware of what the world needs from me. Anyway, back to RSS. Personally, filing my music sites that I constantly having to keep up with and artist and band page blogs is now something I can complete in less time that before. Organizing music business, education, and personal to 3 different RSS feeds would be Awesome. I need to take time to sit down and do that very soon. What a great time management skill. I listed the blogs I subscribed to at the bottom. They are all blogs for teachers, about teachers, and by teachers...something like that ;)
