What is it?

RSS makes it possible for you to keep up with Holiday Golightly in an automated manner (visualize a stylish robot, wearing big sunglasses) that's easier than checking the blog entries daily. Let's be honest. We're busy lazy.

RSS content can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader" or an "aggregator". The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. (we should do that one).

Where do I get it?

Holiday Golightly currently has 5 RSS feeds to choose from:

Feed Readers

Feed readers allow you to collect a bunch of RSS feeds and browser through all at once. They're great if you read many blogs a day. We'll take a look at Google Reader and Yahoo's Reader and will be covering additional readers in the future.
