    Not a question but a comment about how great I am finding this BBS to be!! For the longest time, when 'tags' were first introduced to the computer world, I didn't understand what they were for but it didn't matter much because I didn't use them. Somewhere in the info for this BBS there is a very short but comprehensive explanation. THANKS!!! NOW I can use them for my everyday research stuff!!!

    You've probably seen this:

    RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts in a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a "feed," "web feed," or "channel ") contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with web sites in an automated manner that can be piped into special programs or filtered displays.

    Thank you! I did a bit more research after I sent that post. Seems I am subscribed to Google's reader on my iGoogle page. But I also found a reader that explains the how-tos in simple English! I need to get rid of some of the things on that reader, FeedDemon, that I am not interested in.

    Good Morning!!
