Computing: Using RSS feeds

If you enjoy this blog, you can subscribe to it via RSS, which you can use at Bloglines (where I read my feeds) or any other feed aggregator/reader. This includes most browsers, like Safari or Firefox. Feed aggregation lets you collect all the blogs you read into one site, so you can just check one place to see what's been updated.

Reading feeds means that every time you look at your news reader, it goes out and checks which sites in your list have been updated. If I've posted a new entry, it'll show up as a new entry for you.

Howto:
RSS in Safari
RSS in Firefox
RSS in Internet Explorer, even though you should really be using Firefox

It looks like "My Yahoo" and those types of sites (including Google start page) also let you add and read feeds.
