The Huge RSS Icon Experiment: Subscribe Today!

By Daryl and has 4 comments.

I am a huge fan of RSS feeds and using Google Reader to stay up to date on all the latest from my favorite sites. For those that aren’t tech savy. RSS, stands for Real Simple Syndication and is a way to subscribe to content from site’s around the web and then read them without having to check each site individually. This is how to get the content from your favorite site or blog without having to visit it each day. RSS is also the way that podcast are updated when you subscribe to one via the iTunes Music Store. Therefore, today is the day that you need to subsribe to Terribly Poetic if you haven’t already.

I hope to check out my RSS feed stats in a few days and see a jump. And for those tech savy readers out there, I would also love to hear what reader you are using.

Cut to the bone

Following is a quote from a blog I read recently about blogging and facebook and I feel that its a great commentary on things. Click on the link to read the rest.

Blog is dead…

I too have noticed not only on this blog but on every other blog server that there are no more postings except by a few Christian writers. This distresses me because … with everything the world is becoming to convenient without any worry of actual thinking! SO now have with sites like Facebook taking over in which there is only surface level garb with no meat to it at all.

I think that this is a great wake up call for my current writing and I need to get back to writing. This comes at a great time for me. Next week, all of the YFC staff here in Saskatoon are going on a 24hr Solo. What that means is that I will pack up a tent and hike, canoe to a quiet place at the far end of Ranger Lake(where we are all going) and be completely alone in solitude for 24hrs. No cellphones, internet, or ipods. While I have generally enjoyed times of solitude in the past, I have never engaged in one for this long of a time before. But it could spur on some writing, which is just what my blog needs.
