Thank you...in advance

Hello Hon, well this is a long time coming but heres how i manage the mysteries of rss feeds... I have an account at netvibes.com... when I see a blog I like, I type the address into my netvibes account and it searches for any feeds available: I then choose one (they have lots of different names like atom and rss etc but all are much of a muchness so pick any)... and then everyime that blog or page updates it appears on my netvibes age and I don't have to spend a lifetime trolling around the internet reading the blogs I like...

This is the public version of my page...

http://www.netvibes.com/brocantehome#BrocanteHome

If you can't get to grips with netvibes try the Google reader (google.com/reader) and give that ago...

For a more technical (but still readable) explanation of rss go here:

Alison,
I finally had a chance to really look the netvibes over. What a great page, thanks for the information. It's tidy.
