RSS, Syndication, ATOM and all that

I finally spent some time, and got the basics of this working. FYI in case you are interested.

Lots of sites nowadays allow you to do 'RSS' or 'Atom' syndication. What this means is that you can have a program on your computer that will keep checking when new content comes onto those sites and let you know. Using the program on your computer you can therefore from one central place, check a lot of different websites for their latest content. (If you're such a web junkie as to need such a tool, probably your first priority should be to wean yourself off the net in the first place, but we digress).

So here's a simple and relatively lightweight 'reader' (that's the program that sits on your comp. and monitors websites):
Feedreader , http://www.feedreader.com/

And you can syndicate my blog by entering the following URL into feedreader:
http://despoki.blogspot.com/atom.xml

I left out a lot of details, but feel free to mail if you want to seriously do this.
