If you are one of my many non-technical readers you may have heard me and others mention things like RSS and words like “subscribe” and you may have wondered what it is all about. Well the lovely people over at The Common Craft Show have put together a great 3.5 minute video called “RSS in Plain English” which explains it all. If you check more than one or two sites/blogs per day to see if they have any updates then you need to watch this video and save yourself hassle.
There are two types of Internet users, those that use RSS and those that don’t. This video is for the people who could save time using RSS, but don’t know where to start.
NOTE: If the video/audio stutters a lot just pause it, wait a minute and then start again.

I started writing a blog post months ago where I was going to go through the whole subscribe process screengrab by screengrab. Never finished it. That video does it soooo much better.
