Some of you will know what RSS is. Heck, some of you may be viewing this article via its RSS feed. I have a blog charting the growth of our son, Gethin, and our lives as parents. I know that many of our friends and family perodically check this blog for updates. Partly because we are lazy and don’t update it as often as we should but also because they don’t know about RSS and how it can tell them when the site has been updated. It is for people like them, and perhaps people like you, that I have written this article to explain what RSS is and how it can help bring the web to you.
