Do you like reading blogs?

Did you know that some blogs are updated daily or several times a day?  (I try to update this blog several times a week. . . are you reading the posts?)

Do you get tired of checking to see if there are new things posted every day?

Did you know there are other ways to read a blog besides checking the website daily?

Yes, it is true!  It is called a RSS feed and according to my friend, and client, Patric Welch, it is very easy!  I am sure there are many ways to do a RSS feed but my favorite is to have the blog updates posted into my Outlook, just like a normal email.  I have the RSS feed as a separate folder in Outlook similar to my Inbox for emails.  This way, when I check my emails, I can also see if there are any new posts that I need to read.  I have at least 5 different blogs that I read on a daily basis (when I have time).  Patric is right. . .  it is easy!

Have you ever seen this symbol on a website and wondered what it is or what it means?  For my blog, you will see it at the very bottom right hand side of the main page.  If you click on this image or the RSS feed it will ask you what you want to do.  I just said I want subscribe to this feed using my Outlook.  For a great description (much better than mine!) on how to do a RSS feed, check out Patrick's blog about RSS really is really simple.

So, now that you have figured out the RSS feed and will be reading my blog at least weekly :) , start leaving comments!!

I love comments!!!

Well, I do not see myself doing this very often but one of my customers asked me to do it!  Anyway, his name is Patric Welch from Noobie.  He is great and very knowledgeable about gadgets!  I love reading his blogs!  In fact, he was one of them I mentioned in my newsletter.

Anyway, one of the things that I really want is a Nintendo Wii!  I have been trying to convince Mark that I need one really bad!  If we get the WiiFit then I could work out at home and would not have to go the Y!  Also he could work out at home and we would all have fun!  The first time that I played the Wii was at another customer's house  . .Steve Gray Renovations!  It was so much fun!  We played the Guitar Hero and I have been hooked ever since!
