Subscribe to The Israel Situation

If you like what you see, make sure you subscribe. If you are wondering what it means to subscribe to a blog or what RSS is, I will tell you a bit more here.

RSS stands for really simple syndication. It was popularized through integration with web browsers (such as Mozilla Firefox) and start pages/news pages, such as iGoogle and Pageflake. RSS feeds out a file (looks like HTML code to the untrained eye) that your reader turns into a nice, hyperlinked version of the blog or news site built in to your page.

I personally use Google Reader, though there are many others out there. To subscribe to any site, click on the RSS link or the orange icon (right), which is the international icon for RSS. Click on the logo in this blog post to see how it works.

Why RSS? I read a long list of blogs (some of them are listed in my blogroll in the right column) to keep up to date on the latest news and other fun things. Reader aggregates all of the posts into something that looks like one feed. I have YNet's RSS feed on my iGoogle so I know Israel breaking news too.

Why am I telling you all of this? I want you! (To subscribe to my RSS feed). Don't you love photoshop.
