The regular visitor might have noticed that the design of my personal homepage has changed. But true beauty is hidden to the eye … behind the scenes this site is now driven by RSS.
“RSS what?!” you might ask
RSS is a standard that was once invented by Netscape (Rich Site Summary) but soon got reused worldwide to provide a simple way of syndicating news items (Real Simple Syndication). Basically everyone with a website can take part in this adventure provided he has an RSS generator. There are services that will host your RSS feed for you like e.g. Radio Userland or if you own a website you can put it there.
The audience then can subscribe to the RSS feed and thus get news items from the author without having to visit the site.
