What the Heck is an RSS feed?

I know some of you out there are wondering this. (exclude heck if you are not from Utah) I found a wonderful explanation of not only what it is, but how to set them up for your blog if you would like some help allowing people to subscribe! Swing by Tip Junkie to see the full explanation.

Here is the cliff notes version. An RSS feed allows you to automatically see when there are updates on a site, instead of having to check periodically. For instance, on my sidebar there are a few different boxes. You can sign up to get free notifications of new posts through RSS (which will feed notifications in to a reader on your computer, I use Google Reader), email, or facebook. This is a convenient way to keep in touch. Plus, frankly, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to know someone is out there wanting to see and hear what I am up to. {{batting eyelashes with big cheesy grin}}

So, here is your chance...I made it super easy (Just for you mom!) if you would like to sign up so you don't miss a beat.

Follow, Follow me :) Get Tips By RSS


Enter your email address:


Will you get spam...are you kidding me? I would never send you canned meat.

There is also a place on the side bar under the networked blogs logo to sign up to follow on facebook. Sorry, I was not saavy enough to get it to work here.
I know some of you already signed up to follow on my other facebook page, but this one came with the fancy sign up on the blog and receive post notifications option. :)

And a big You Guys Rock to those who are already followers!
